Question

What is the meaning of the slope of mr taylor's line? pls help! a lot of points

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

y -----> is the percentage of test score

x ----> is the number of days absent

so

That means -----> The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

In this problem the slope is negative

so

If the percentage test score increases----> the number of days decreases

If the percentage test score decreases----> the number of days increases
