A librarian collected data on the number of pages in chapters of a book. Interpret the slope and the y -intercept of the linear model. Round the slope to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)

Answer 1

The slope of the linear model represents the rate of change in the number of pages as the chapter number increases. In this context, it would indicate how many pages on average are added for each additional chapter.

The y-intercept of the linear model represents the predicted number of pages in a chapter when the chapter number is 0. In this context, it would likely not have a meaningful interpretation since a chapter number of 0 would not exist in a book.

To interpret the slope, round it to the nearest hundredth and consider the units of measurement (e.g. pages per chapter).
