That equation is just an assumption that we make about the relationship between a response variable (aka dependent variable) $y$ and a predictor (aka independent variable) $x$, i.e. the response variable (target) is an unknown function $f$ of the predictor $x$ plus some noise $\epsilon$ due to e.g. measurement errors (caused e.g. by damaged sensors). So, if ...
