Question

The relationship between antioxidant food consumption per day in cups and the BMI of an individual is modeled by the following line of best fit: y = -1.2x + 26. Interpret the slope and intercept of the trend line within the context of the data.

Answer 1

y is bmi
x is amount of antioxidant in cups


so when x=0 that is when 0 cups of antioxydants are consumed, that is y intercept, that means a person who consumes 0 cups starts at 26 bmi

slope is the amount that the bmi decreases for every cup of antioxydants consumed
