Students taking an achievement test receive separate scores for the math and verbal sections of the test. The linear model below can be used to predict a student's verbal score, y, based on the student's math score, x. y = 0.4433x + 307.68

What does the slope of this equation mean in terms of the context of the problem?

Given:

Student's verbal score, y, based on the student's math score, x is

To find:

The meaning of slope of this equation in terms of the context of the problem.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a linear equation is

            ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The given equation is

         ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Therefore, the slope of the linear equation is 0.4433. It means, student's verbal score, y increased by 0.4433 if the student's math score, x increased by 1.

answer: a and c are correct

step-by-step explanation:

the +5 is the vertical translation

the added negative symbol in front is the reflection over the y-axis

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
