Write an equation and slope, intercept form of the trendline on animal longevity

1 answer

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.
