Question

(6.04)the equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = −5x − 2. what is the slope of the equation? −5 −2 2 5

Answer 1

slope = - 5

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 5x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 5
