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 1.3 centimeters. the change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length. the change in expected femur length for every one additional centimeter of height. the femur length for someone with an expected height of 90 centimeters.

Explanation:

The slope of a line in a linear - relationship graph represents the rate of change. In the context of the relationship between femur length and expected height, for every one - unit increase in the independent variable (femur length), the dependent variable (expected height) changes by the amount equal to the slope. So, the slope represents the change in expected height for every one additional centimeter of femur length.

Answer:

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