Question

theres a roughly linear relationship between the length of someones femur (the long leg - bone in your thigh) and their expected height, as expressed in the graph below. what does the slope of the line represent? answer the femur length for someone with an expected height of 57 centimeters. the change in expected femur length for every one additional centimeter of height. the expected height for someone with a femur length of 2.5 centimeters. the change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.

Explanation:

In a linear - relationship graph where the x - axis is femur length and the y - axis is expected height, the slope represents the rate of change. The slope is calculated as $\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$, which in this context means for every one - unit increase in femur length (x), the change in expected height (y).

Answer:

The change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.
