Question

Write a scenario that could work for the following line of best fit: y=-0.8+5.6. Explain the slope and intercept in the context.

Answer 1

The slope would be -0.8 and 5.6 would be the intercept.

Explanation:

The constant at the end of the equation is always the intercept.

The coefficient of x is the slope.

This just means that the graph starts at (0. 5.6) and has a rate of change of -0.8 y for every change in x.
