Chapter 2.4, Problem 54SSC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The dependent variable needs to be explained if a linear graph has a negative slope.

Concept introduction:

The difference and trend in the data can be easily visualized via plotting graphs. This can be said that a visual display of data is its graph. There are three types of graphs:

  • The parts of a fixed whole can be represented by a circle graph. The different parts are represented as percents where the entire circle represents 100% .
  • The variation of a quantity across different categories can be represented by a bar graph.
  • In the line graph, the intersection of data for two variables is represented by the different points.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 54SSC

If the slope is negative, which means the x-axis value increases and the y-axis value decreases. In other words, the dependent value decreases as the independent value increases.

Explanation of Solution

A graph is a visual display of the data. Slope of a line can be determined by dividing the difference of the two points on the y-axis by the difference of the two points on the x-axis. The points chosen must come from the line on the graph.

Slope=y2y1x2x1

If the slope is negative, which means the x-axis value increases and the y-axis value decreases. In other words, the dependent value decreases as the independent value increases.

Conclusion

If the slope is negative, which means the x-axis value increases and the y-axis value decreases. In other words, the dependent value decreases as the independent value increases.
