Question

Scientists measured the annual forest loss (in square kilometers) in Indonesia from 2000–2012. They found the regression line

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of this line is 1021.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regression line has the following format:

y = b + ax

In which a is the slope, that is, how much y changes with a variation of a single unit in x.

In this problem, our line is:

forest loss=7500+1021x

In which x is the number of years after 2000.

So the slope of this line is 1021.
