Question

The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = 12x + 7. What is the slope of the equation? −12 −7 12 7

Answer 1

I would say 12 i think

Answer 2

Well,

Slope-intercept form is given as follows:
y = mx + b

In this equation, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.

y = 12x + 7

We can clearly see that the 12 in the equation is the "m" in the general slope-intercept form.

Therefore, the slope of the equation is 12.
