The linear regression equation for the data is  y = 1.5x + 12.  Interpret the slope of the equation.

• The slope is (0, 1.5).  It means that a pizza with 0 toppings will cost $1.50.
• The slope is 1.5.  It means that it costs $1.50 per topping.
• There are 1.5 toppings.
• There are 1.5 pizzas.

The chart below tracts starting salaries for health care workers since the year 2000. Using linear regression, find the equation of best fit. Round decimals to 3 places.

• y = 839.721x + 27541.812
• y = 27541.812x - 839.721
• y = 27541.812x + 839.721
• y = 839.721x - 27541.812
