Question

Help!!! Please!!! The linear regression for this print-out relates the amount of oxygen in your spaceship measured in liters as a function of time In hours

Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of the problem

Answer 1

Please check explanations

Explanation:

When we talk about the slope, we are simply referring to the change in y-value with respect to a change in x-value

From the regression line equation, we can see that the value of the slope is negative

What this means is that as the x value is increasing, the y value is decreasing

This makes sense in the context of the problem because it is expected that the amount of fuel in liters is expected to decrease with an increasing amount of time
