Hey Emilia,

It seems you want to fit a linear regression model for 2 features without a bias term so that it passes through the origin. The k1 and k2 slope that you mentioned are nothing but the weights of these features. Your mathematical equation for the function would be like,

y = w1x1 + w2x2

To do this you can use the fitlm function and make the 'Intercept' as false.

dlm = fitlm(X,y,'Intercept',false);

Please go through the following documentation to learn more,

And to learn how to fit linear regression model in MATLAB refer to this documentation,

Hope this helps.
