I'm +1 on the changes proposed by Raymond. In my teaching experience most developers who will use the built-in statistics package will have highschool level math experience. On the other hand, they'll probably to Wikipedia and the entry there uses dependent variable and regressor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression#Introduction) On the third hand :) scipy (https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.linregress.html) uses slope and intercept. I thin "Line" is a good name for the result.
