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 table shown is comparing a person's foot length to their height in cm. What might the height of a person be with a foot length of 30 cm?

• 185 cm

• 180 cm

• 190 cm

• 192 cm

The table shown is comparing a person's foot length to their height in cm. Calculate a line of best fit.

• f(x) = 25.05x + 5.57

• f(x) = 5.57x + 25.05

• f(x) = -5.57x + 25.05

• f(x) = 5.57x - 25.05
