Find the slope for the trend line using points (2,2) and (4,3)

• 2

• 1/2

• -2

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.
