The Slope of this line = 4 2 = 2. The line is steeper, and so the Slope is larger.
Step-by-step explanation:
Interpreting the slope of a regression line. The slope is interpreted in algebra as rise over run. If, for example, the slope is 2, you can write this as 2/1 and say that as you move along the line, as the value of the X variable increases by 1, the value of the Y variable increases by 2
Often, we measure work in man·days. This piece of work requires ...
(45 man)·(90 days) = 4050 man·days
When there are only 30 men, the number of days required can be found by dividing this work by the number of men:
4050 man·days/(30 man) = 135 days
_____
Another approach is to realize the time is inversely proportional to the number of men. If the number of men is 30/45 = 2/3 the original, then the time will be 3/2 the original, or ...
