What is the formula of the linear regression with an error propagation
$begingroup$
I am in Physics Licenciature and a day the teacher showed me a formula for the linear regression with error propagation, and time after, I was searching this formula and I didn't find it. Then I am frustrated, so any answer will be well received.

Does this link help at all en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty ? It was, by the way, the first hit on a google for “propagation of error”.

I know the propagation of uncertainty and its calculus, but I don't know the uncertaintly of the linear regression of various data

Well, it is not very clear what you are asking for anyway. Are you asking: if $Y_n =alpha +sum_{i=1}^N beta_i X_{n,i}+epsilon_n$, (i.e. a linear regression model with an intercept and $N$ independent variables) and $Var(X_{n,i})=sigma_i^2$ then what is $Var(Y_n)$? If so, then this is indeed answered already in the linked article I provided (up to some assumptions on $epsilon_n$)...

Hmm, perhaps you should ask your lecturer then? Anyway, the result I eluded to in my previous comment is just an application of the general formula for variance of a sum of (possibly correlated) RVs: $$Var(X_1+dotsc +X_n)=sum_{i=1}^n Var(X_i)+2sum_{i <j} Cov(X_i X_j).$$
