Question

A person's Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of the mount of fat in their body. The relationship between antioxidant food consumption per day in cups and the BMI of an individual is modeled by the following line of best fit: y = -0.1x + 22. Interpret the slope and intercept of the trend line within the context of the data.

Answer 1

Answer:

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = -0.1x + 22

Where,

y = BMI of an individual

x = antioxidant food consumption per day in cups

Equation of a slope

y = mx + c

Where,

m = slope

c = y - intercept

Therefore,

From the equation

y = -0.1x + 22

slope, m = -0.1

y - intercept, c = 22
