50 POINTS FOR WHOEVER ANSWERS!!! I NEED HALP

The slope of the line that represents the data Nicholas collected is -63, and the y-intercept is 825. Explain what these represent in the context of the situation. Remember that x is the number of days, and y is the number of canned goods.

Answer 1

slope of - 63 in the context means, as the number of days increases by 1, The number of canned goods there is 63 reduction in yhe number of canned goods.

An intercept value of 825 means the Number of canned goods even when the number of days is 0.

Explanation:

Given that:

Slope = - 63

y intercept = 825

x = number of days

y = number of canned goods

From the general form of a linear model :

y = mx + c

m = slope / gradient ; c = intercept

Hence,

y = - 63x + 825

A slope of - 63 in the context means, as the number of days increases by 1, The number of canned goods there is 63 reduction in yhe number of canned goods.

An intercept value of 825 means the Number of canned goods even when the number of days is 0.

Answer 2

The line is:

• y = -63x + 825

There is no context but from what is given w can state that:

• The slope - decrease of canned goods per day (usage, selling or whatever the reason is).
• The y-intercept - initial number of canned goods (at day 0).
