Q

What form does a linear model take?

A
18
Q

For linear model y = ax + b, interpret the meaning of the constants a and b.

A

As x increases by 1 y increases by a.
y = b when x = 0.

For a given real-life model interpret the real-life meaning of these.

19
Q

Don’t forget to include UNITS in your modelling answers.

E.g. £, m, g, elephants

A

Not a question, just a common mistake.
