Interpreting slope: What does a negative slope indicate in a real-world scenario?

• A negative slope indicates an increase in the dependent variable as the independent variable increases.

• A negative slope indicates a constant value of the dependent variable regardless of the independent variable.

• A negative slope indicates a decrease in the dependent variable as the independent variable increases.

• A negative slope indicates no relationship between the dependent and independent variables.

Interpreting slope: Explain the meaning of a slope of 0 in the context of a problem.

• The dependent variable increases at a constant rate as the independent variable increases.

• The dependent variable decreases as the independent variable increases.

• The dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases.

• The dependent variable does not change as the independent variable changes.
