    Here is your fil with the solution https://www.dropbox.com/t/CChylr4UPd28RtxH
    Measures are automatically wrapped with CALCULATE which forces context transition. On the other hand using the formulas directly will be extremely complicated. Therefore, use can do the following:

    Predicted Income = 
    Divide (  
        RELATED ( 'Regression Table'[y] ) - CALCULATE ( [b], ALL ( 'Regression Table' ) ), 
        CALCULATE ( [m], ALL ( 'Regression Table' ) )
    )

    This shall solve your problem.

Adding columns to the customer table which simply calculate [b] and [m] both return blank results, hence the blank result in your divide formula. You can use CALCULATE( [b], REMOVEFILTERS('Customer List')), which returns a value, but without a deep understanding of your model I don't know if there are only specific columns on Customer List which should have filters removed, or if there are other filters on other tables which should be removed.
