HSS.ID.C.7: Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.
What you'll learn
- Interpret the slope of a linear model as a rate of change, with correct units and a sentence about the real quantities
- Interpret the y-intercept as the predicted value when x = 0, with units, often as a baseline or starting value
- Attach correct units to both slope and intercept in every interpretation
- Judge when an intercept is meaningful and when it is a mathematical artifact (x = 0 impossible or far outside the data)
