Answer:

Slope = 2.3332

Interpretation: As increases by 1 unit, y increases by 2.332 units

Explanation:

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

where m = slope and b = y-intercept

Comparing y=-2.3332x+123.98 to the standard equation form we get

m = 2.3332
b = 123.98

Slope is rise/run
It tells you the change in y-value for a unit change in x-value

Here 2.332 can be interpreted to mean that as x changes by +1 value, y changes by + 2.332
