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.
The slope of the linear model in this case represents the rate at which the number of pages in the chapters of the book increases or decreases. If the slope is positive, it indicates that as the chapters progress, the number of pages increases. If the slope is negative, it means that as the chapters progress, the number of pages decreases.
The y-intercept of the linear model represents the starting point or initial value of the number of pages in the chapters. It is the predicted number of pages in the first chapter of the book.
Since the exact values of the slope and y-intercept are not given, it is not possible to provide specific interpretations without knowing the numerical values.
