In the linear regression equation y = -158x + 2,378:
- "x" represents the number of months that have passed, starting with January being month 1, February being month 2, March being month 3, and so on.
So, "x" in this equation represents the time in months. It is used to predict the amount of money you spend ("y") based on the number of months that have passed.
