Transcript text: What is the slope of the linear model. Be sure to specify the units.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify two points on the line.
The problem asks for the slope of the linear model. The graph provides the point (5, 170). We can also estimate another point on the line. Looking at the graph, it seems like the line passes through the point (0, 80).
Step 2: Calculate the slope.
The slope is the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value. Using our identified points, the slope is:
(170-80) / (5-0) = 90 / 5 = 18
Final Answer: The slope is 18 vaccinated students per week.
