Question

Find the slope then describe what it means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable. The linear function f(x)=4.1x+26 represents the percentage of people, f(x), who graduated from college x years after 1998

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the linear function: f(x)=4.1x+26

Comparing the equation with the general linear regression Equation :

f(x) = mx + c

Where ;

m = slope ; x = independent variable ; c = intercept

Hence, the slope of the equation is 4.1

The expression goes those; the dependent variable y increases by 4.1 per 1 degree increase in the dependent variable.
