Question

1. how can fractional slopes (slopes between 0 and 1) be interpreted?

a. as showing no change
b. as representing gradual changes
c. as indicating a negative relationship
d. as indicating steep changes

Explanation:

A slope between 0 and 1 means that for a positive increase in the independent variable, the dependent variable increases by a smaller proportional amount, which corresponds to a gradual, not steep, change. A slope of 0 means no change, a negative slope means a negative relationship, and slopes greater than 1 mean steep changes.

Answer:

b. As representing gradual changes
