Show examples.The scatter plot and line of best fit below show the length of 7 people's femur (the long leg bone in the thigh) and their height in centimeters. What does the slope of the line represent?- The expected femur length when the height is 1 centimeter.- The change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.- The change in expected femur length for every one additional centimeter of height.- The expected height when the femur has a length of 1 centimeter.
Q. Show examples.The scatter plot and line of best fit below show the length of 7 people's femur (the long leg bone in the thigh) and their height in centimeters. What does the slope of the line represent?- The expected femur length when the height is 1 centimeter.- The change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.- The change in expected femur length for every one additional centimeter of height.- The expected height when the femur has a length of 1 centimeter.
Understand Context: Understand the context of the scatter plot and line of best fit.The scatter plot shows the relationship between the length of people's femurs and their height. The line of best fit represents the trend in the data, showing how one variable is expected to change with respect to the other.
Interpret Slope: Interpret the slope of the line of best fit. The slope of the line of best fit in this context represents the rate of change between the two variables. It tells us how much the expected height changes for every additional centimeter of femur length.
Eliminate Incorrect Options: Eliminate incorrect options based on the interpretation of the slope. The slope does not represent the expected femur length when the height is 1 centimeter, nor does it represent the expected height when the femur has a length of 1 centimeter. It represents the change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.
