The vertical intercept (0,b) of a graph is the point where the graph crosses the vertical axis.The horizontal intercept (a, 0) of a graph is the point where the graph crosses the horizontalaxis.30. If the slope of a linear function is positive, the graph of the function rises to the right. If theslope of a linear function is negative, the graph of the function falls to the right.

Interpolation uses a regression model to predict an output within the boundaries of the inputvalues of the given data. Extrapolation uses a regression model to predict an output outsidethe boundaries of the input values of the given data.30. A correlation coefficient,r, measures how strongly two related variables follow a linearpattern. The value ofrranges between –1 and 1. When the value ofris closer to zero, youwould conclude that there is little or no linear correlation. The closerris to either 1 or –1,the stronger the linear correlation between the two variables. Ifr< 0, a negative correlation,then the linear pattern follows a negative slope. Ifr> 0, a positive correlation, then thelinear patters follows a positive slope.Activity 1.11Key Terms1.inconsistent2.consistent3.dependent
