• You burn 500 calories every 60 minutes of exercise.

• You eat 500 calories when you eat out 60 times.

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.

What does 'b" represent in y=mx+b

• y-intercept

• beans

• nothing

• slope
