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. Responses For every 10 chapters of a book, there is an average of 1 page. For every 10 chapters of a book, there is an average of 1 page. - no response given For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 110 page. For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 1 tenth page. - no response given For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 10 pages. For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 10 pages. - not selected, this is the correct answer For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 0.1 page.
The correct interpretation is: For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 10 pages.
The slope of the linear model is equal to the average number of pages per chapter, which is 10. The y-intercept represents the starting point of the linear model, but since it is not provided in the question, we do not have the information to interpret it.
explain
In this linear model, the slope represents the rate of change in the number of pages as the number of chapters increases. In this case, the slope is 10, which means that on average, for every additional chapter in the book, there are 10 more pages added.
The y-intercept, which is the value of y when x (number of chapters) is 0, is not given in the provided options. In this context, it could represent a base value for the number of pages that already exist in the book before any chapters are included. Without the y-intercept, we cannot accurately interpret or calculate the starting point of the linear model.
