The equation for the trendline on animal longevity may be written as:
y = mx + b
where:
y is the animal longevity (in years)
x is a factor affecting animal longevity
m is the slope of the trendline
b is the y-intercept
The slope of the trendline represents the average change in animal longevity for every one unit change in the factor x. The y-intercept represents the predicted animal longevity when the factor x is equal to zero.
