Extracting Coefficient Value from Legend in R Plots
Understanding the Legend in R Plots When creating a simple R plot to visualize the relationship between two variables, we often use linear regression to model the data. The resulting plot typically includes an intercept and a slope line, which can be annotated with the equation of the line. However, if you want to display the coefficient (or slope) value directly in the legend without manual extraction, you may need to modify your code slightly.
