On a personal level, Morton was âjust about the most flamboyant, colorful and exasperating personality imaginable,â according to the liner notes of a 1953 reissue, which would seem to make him of a rock and roll forebear as well.

exists and is an alternate of . Answer by Kt 1234. Confidence votes 105. Normally, alpha is used to represent an angle. Just like x is used to represent an unknown number or angle, alpha, theta, beta are used to represent unkown angles. 9 people found this useful.
The angle of the line is called the slope (m) and the point where the line crosses the vertical axis is called the Y-intercept. Modern finance believes that the slope is the Beta and the Y-intercept is the Alpha. Let me pick that apart a little bit. The outcome of this process yields the alpha (Y-intercept), beta (slope), and the correlation (R). The important point here is the value derived by squaring the correlation: r-squared. Now only academia would square something of value like correlation and give it an entirely new name called Coefficient of Determination.
