The winning height for the men's Olympic high jump has been increasing each year. A regression line of the data is y = 0.23x + 70.8, where y is the height of the men's winning jump in inches and x is the number of years since the first Olympics in 1896.
Which statement best describes the meaning of the y-intercept of the regression line?
A. The winning men's high Jump helght of the first Olympics was about 0.23 inches.
B. The winning men's high jump helght of the first Olympics was about 70.8 inches.
C. Each year the winning men's high jump helght is predicted to increase by 0.23 inches.
D. Each year the winning men's high jump helght is predicted to increase by 70.8 inches.

The y intercept of the equation is the 70.8.

The answer would be

B. The winning men's high jump helght of the first Olympics was about 70.8 inches.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
