Question

"the formula for the equation describing a straight line is = b0 + b1x. the value for b1 in this equation represents the ______________."

Answer 1

it represents the gradient if I'm not wrong. It is the coefficient of x so it does seem like the gradient. However, you didn't put a y behind the = sign so I can't be too sure...

Answer 2

Answer: the value for b1 in this equation represents the y-axis intercept.

Explanation:

The line equation can be defined as:

y = b0 + b1*x

where b0 is the y-axis intercept, this means that is the point where the line intersects the y-axis.

And b1 is the slope of the line, that says how much changes y, when whe do a change in x.
