:{0,1→L₁
:{0,N→L₂
:LinReg(ax+b) Y₁
:Equ►String(Y₁,Str1
:sub(Str1,1,length(Str1)-3→Str1
This code works because it creates two points with a known best fit line: the best fit line through (0,0) and (1,N) is y=Nx+0. LinReg(ax+b) calculates this best fit line, and stores its equation to Y₁.
Then, we use Equ►String( to store this equation to Str1, which now contains "NX+0" with N replaced by the numerical value of N. After that, the Sub( command get rids of the "X+0" at the end, leaving only the string representation of N.
This routine uses L₁, L₂, and Y₁, so you should clean up those variables at the end of your program. If you're working with the graph screen in function mode, storing to Y₁ can be a problem since it will draw an unwanted line through your graphics. Use r₁ instead but make sure the calculator isn't in polar mode.
Note: This only works for real numbers. With complex numbers, such as imaginary numbers, you can use this code at the end of the first to get the same effect with i in it.
:Str1+"i"→Str1
