Question

What is the meaning of the slope of mr taylor's line? pls help! a lot of points

Answer 1

The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

we have

y -----> is the percentage of test score

x ----> is the number of days absent

so

That means -----> The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

In this problem the slope is negative

so

If the percentage test score increases----> the number of days decreases

If the percentage test score decreases----> the number of days increases
