The help for -regress- points you towards 
a help entry -regdiag- which in turn
tells you about -rvpplot- and -rvfplot-. Also 
the reference manual [R] is informative about 
these commands. 

As for the equation, the -regress- output 
includes a listing of estimated coefficients 
including the constant (intercept). The user
has the burden of translating that into whatever
format they prefer e.g. 

gpa = .590 + .169 hsm + ...
