#97 Machine Learning & Data Science Challenge 97

Greetings.
I am a machine learning engineer based in India, possessing a sustained interest in machine learning since my undergraduate studies. I have completed Stanford University's machine learning course (Andrew Ng) via Coursera, and IBM's machine learning and deep learning curriculum. My current focus is on machine learning and data science projects, aiming to leverage my expertise for impactful, real-world problem-solving.
What do you understand by the trend of data?
A general systematic linear or (most often) nonlinear component that changes over time and does not repeat.
There are different approaches to understanding trends.
A positive trend means it is likely that growth continues. Let's illustrate this with a simple example:

- Hmm, this looks like there is a trend. To build up confidence, let's add a linear regression for this graph:

Great, now it’s clear theirs a trend in the graph by adding Linear Regression.
