The slope capbe interpreted as O The predicted number of absences decreases by 4 days for each additional grade point earned in the class. O The predicted grade increases by 4 points for each additional absence in the class. O The predicted grade is a 96 when the student attends every class The predicted grade decreases by 4 points for each additional absence in the class. The predicted number of absences decreases by 4 days for each additional grade point earned in the class

Explanation / Answer

The slope here in this case is -4

a negative sign means that for an increase in absences there would be a decrease in grade and for a decrease in absences there would be an increase in grade.

Therefore a slope of -4 depicts that the predicted grade decreases by 4 points for each additional absence in class.

Therefore d is the correct answer here.
