Give the geometric interpretation of b, it indicates OA. how much the z-value on the straight line changes when the y-value increases by unit O B. the y-value where the straight-line graph of the linear equation intersects the y-axis O c. the z-value where the straight-ine graph of the linear equation intersects the r-axis O D. how much the y-value on the straight line changes when the z-value increases by unit

Explanation / Answer

Linear equation Y = b0 + b1 X

part a) b0 is y intercept i.e when Y takes value equal to b0 when X = 0 ( b0 also called as constant value)

part b)  b1 is the slope of the equation

part c)  Y = b0 + b1 X , consider X = 0 then the equation becomes

Y = b0 + b1 * (0) =   Y = b0

So it takes value on y axis so the answer is option B

Part d)  b1 is the slope of the equation, indicates that how much value of Y changes when values of X changes by a unit, so the answer is option D
