In the elimination method you either add or subtract the equations to get an equation in one variable. When the coefficients of one variable are opposites you add the equations to eliminate a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

Hope this helps!

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Option A) As the Exam 1 score increases by 1 point, the student's Exam 3 grade will increase, on average, by 0.4845 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the equation:

A simple linear regression analysis was conducted to predict the Exam 3 score of students in STA 2023 based on their Exam 1 score.

Thus, Exam 3 score becomes the dependent variable and exam 1 score is the independent variable.

The regression equation is given by:

$\hat{y} = 50.57+0.4845x$

Comparing the equation to a linear equation:

$y = mx + c$

m = 0.4845

c = 50.57

Where m is the slope and tells the rate of change and c is the y intercept that is the value of y when x is 0.

When, there is a increase in x, we can write:

$\hat{y}(x) = 50.57+0.4845x\\\hat{y}(x+1) = 50.57+0.4845(x+1)\\\hat{y}(x+1) - \hat{y}(x) = 50.57+0.4845(x+1)-(50.57+0.4845x)\\\hat{y}(x+1) - \hat{y}(x) = 0.4845$

Thus, the slope of equation can be interpreted as:

Option A) As the Exam 1 score increases by 1 point, the student's Exam 3 grade will increase, on average, by 0.4845 points.
