Answer 1

To find the slope of the median-median line, we first need to calculate the median of both the x-values and the y-values in the table.

Median of x-values:
2.7, 4.4, 7.2, 7.4, 10.3, 11.6, 14.7, 14.9, 15.1, 17.6, 19.8, 21.3, 24.9
The median of these values is 14.7

Median of y-values:
20, 21, 21, 22, 24, 24, 25, 26, 35, 36, 38, 40, 46
The median of these values is 24

Next, we calculate the slope using the formula:
Slope = (median of y-values - median of y-values) / (median of x-values - median of x-values)
Slope = (24 - 24) / (14.7 - 14.7)
Slope = 0

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.
