To help you accurately respond to the question using the graph, I'll provide you with general guidelines on how to analyze trends, slopes, and y-intercepts.
-
Trend of the Data: Look at the overall direction of the data points on the graph. Is it increasing, decreasing, or remaining constant? The trend can be described as positive, negative, or stable.
-
Meaning of the Slope: The slope of a line on a graph indicates the rate of change. A positive slope means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases, while a negative slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. The steepness of the slope can indicate how strong this relationship is; a steeper slope implies a stronger relationship.
-
Meaning of the Y-Intercept: The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This value represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero. It can provide context as to the starting point of the data being analyzed.
