The linear model for some butterfly data is given by the equation y =0.238x + 4.642. Which of the following best describes the slope of the model?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The slope of the model is 0.238

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in slope-intercept form which reads

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the constant.

So...

y = (0.238)x + 4.642

y = (slope)x + constant

0.238 is the slope of this model

Answer:

0.238 is the slope and 4.642 is the y-intercept.

given equation: y = 0.238x + 4.642

Formula of slope intercept formula: y = mx + b

                                                             where m is slope and b is y intercept

→ comparing we can see that slope is 0.238 and y-intercept is 4.642.
