[R] How can we predict the value of dependent variable using independent variable

hi , i am trying to predict the value of dependent variable using the independent variable using R . like y is dependent and x1,x2,x3 ...,xn are independent variables so how can predict the value of y using x1,x2,x3 ...,xn . y x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 6 0 1 231 2 5 1 34

Generally lm and predict.lm will solve this kind of problems, see ?lm ?predict.lm But with your given data there is nothing to predict, since you have 6 independent variables and 6 observations. So you have a complete System of linear equations, which you can solve, see ?solve. hth. man4ish
