The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = 12x + 7. What is the slope of the equation? (4 points)

−12
−7
12
7

Answer 1

i believe the slope would be in the negatives not that im trying to give dierect answers but yea

Answer 2

corrrect me if im wrong lol people

Answer 3

The formula for slope is y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Based on this information, what do you think the answer is?

Answer 4

i wanna say -7?

Answer 5

^^^^^ and when using this formula make sure u put the numbers in the right spot

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

there fore the answer is?

That would be incorrect. Try looking at the formula

i did so then -12?

Answer 10

Take a look at the equation again. And pay attention to the numbers. is 12 negative or positive?

Answer 11

its not negative take a careful look at the problem

Answer 12

this is why i like my graphs

Answer 13

so if its not -7 or -12 try it

Answer 14

positive 7 or positive 12

Answer 15

its 12

Answer 16

Look at this:

y = mx + b
y = 12x + 7

m is the `slope`

b is the `y=intercept`

Since we are looking for the `slope`, we would look where `m` is.

Answer 17

Hope that helps :)

and yes it would be 12
