How to create multiple regression lines using ggplot2 in R?
To create multiple regression lines using ggplot2, we can use grouping inside aes.
For example, if we have a data frame called that contains two numerical columns say x and y and a categorical column say C then the regression lines between x and y for all the categories in C can be created by using the below given command −
ggplot(df,aes(x,y,group=C))+geom_point()+stat_smooth(method="lm")
Example
Following snippet creates a sample data frame −
data(mtcars) head(mtcars,20)
Output
The following dataframe is created −

To load ggplot2 package and create multiple regression lines between hp and mpg based on categories in cyl, add the following code to the above snippet −
library(ggplot2) ggplot(mtcars,aes(hp,mpg,group=cyl))+geom_point()+stat_smooth(method="lm") `geom_smooth()` using formula 'y ~ x'
Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
