Solution:
Equation of best fit , which describes the relationship between the number of car accidents in a month and the number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving.
The equation is : y= −0.0067 x + 17
Comparing with slope intercept form of line which is , y= m x + c
where m, is the slope of line= -0.0067
Y intercept = 17
If the points are closer to Line of best fit , it means high correlation, and if points are far away from line of best fit it means low correlation between x and y values.
If , X= number of car accidents in a month
Y= number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving.
If, x= 0, y=17, that is,
if number of car accidents=0
Then, number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving= 17
If, Y= number of car accidents in a month
X= number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving.
If, x= 0, y=17,
number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving= 0
Still, number of car accidents in a month=17
