The slope of the linear model represents how much the ice cream sales increase or decrease for each unit increase in temperature. It is rounded to the nearest hundredth.
The y-intercept represents the ice cream sales when the temperature is at 0 Fahrenheit. In this case, it is 38.
Therefore, the interpretation of the slope and y-intercept is as follows:
- For each unit increase in temperature, the ice cream sales increase by the value of the slope.
- When the temperature is at 0 Fahrenheit, the ice cream sales are 38.
Market data are gathered for ice cream sales based on the temperature in Fahrenheit. Interpret the slope and y-intercept (0,38)
of the linear model, using the ordered pair (65,325)
. Round the slope to the nearest hundredth.
