Simple Linear Regression with sklearn - Summary Table
when I tried to follow the instruction of the following
reg.predict(1740)
it shows me it is not a 2D array, how to make it work? How to make a single value become a 2D array Thanks.

Hi liqian,
thanks for reaching out! Instead of the line:
reg.predict(1740)
try the following two lines:
new_data = np.array(1740).reshape(-1,1)
reg.predict(new_data) This should fix the issue. Let me know how it goes! Best, Eli
