Question

3) Annual average temperature was recorded from 10 cities, each from differentelevations (how high they are in the word). Y represents temperature in degrees celsiusand X represents elevation in meters. I created a trend line to show the correlationbetween the two values. The equation of the line isy = 0.006x-2Mage15Temel1000 1500 200000a) in one sentence interpret the slope of this equation (fill in the blanksThe slope of the equation tells us that for every meter of elevation the averagearate de sturedegrees Celsius

Answer 1

The given function is

$y=0.006x-2$

Where x is the elevation in meters and y is the temperature in celsius.

In every linear equation, the slope refers to the ration between variables. In this case, the slope 0.006 shows an increase of 0.006 celsius per meter of elevation.
