Which statement is true? @jimthompson5910

The regression equation given to us is y = 0.5x + 1.3

It is in the form y = mx+b
m = 0.5 is the slope
b = 1.3 is the y intercept

The slope of 0.5 indicates that each time x increases by 1, the value of y will increase by 0.5 (since 0.5 = 0.5/1)

Translate this into the context of the problem and that means "for every extra person attending (x), the prep time increases by roughly 0.5 hours" which is what choice C is saying, well a paraphrase of it anyway.

Choice C

I'm pretty sure it's b). i try drawing the functions out and b is the one that stands out or isnt a "line"
