The slope tells how much y changes when x increases by 1.
- A line of best fit for temperature (x) and ice creams sold (y) is y = 5x + 9. By how much does the predicted y change when x increases by 7?
- A line of best fit for shoe size (x) and height (y) is y = 2x + 26. By how much does the predicted y change when x increases by 2?
- A line of best fit for temperature (x) and ice creams sold (y) is y = 2x + 9. By how much does the predicted y change when x increases by 7?
- A line of best fit for age of a car (x) and its price (y) is y = 3x + 7. By how much does the predicted y change when x increases by 4?
