A librarian collected data on the number of pages in chapters of a book. Interpret the slope and the y-intercept of the linear model. Round the slope to the nearest hundredth.
For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 1/10 page.
For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 0.1 page.
For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 10 pages.
For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 1 page.
The slope of the linear model represents the average number of pages per chapter, which in this case is 0.1 or 1/10 page. This means that on average, each chapter of the book is approximately 0.1 pages long.
The y-intercept of the linear model represents the starting point of the data, which in this case is 1 page. This suggests that even if a chapter is very short or just a few paragraphs long, it will still be at least 1 page in length.
