• positive:  the further you run the further you jump
• negative: the less you run the less distance of your jump
• positive: the further your running start the less your distance

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

• The y-intercept is 1.5.  It means that a pizza with 0 toppings will cost $1.50.

• The y-intercept is (0,12). It means that when there are 0 toppings then the cost of pizza is $12.

• There are 12 toppings.

• There are 12 pizzas.

Data was collected on the weight of a male  laboratory rat for the first 25 weeks after its birth. The linear regression equation is 
y= 40x+100, where x is number of weeks and y is weight in grams. 
What does the y-intercept mean in context of the problem?

• The predicted weight of the rat in year 0. 
• The predicted weight of the rat at birth. 
• The current weight of the rat. 
• The average increase in the rat's weight.
