Jeremy surveyed students in his class about their spending habits in the school cafeteria. He used the data to create a scatterplot.
How Students Spend Money in the Cafeteria
Which is the equation of his trend line?
If the slope of the trend line between variables X and Y is m, then an increase in value of 1 unit in X is associated with an increase of m units in the value of Y. The relationship is one of association, not of cause-and-effect.
Based on the information given in the question, nothing particularly is true. The line need not be straight, or even a smooth curve. There need not be any points on the line but there need not be any points not on it.
No, that would be quite unusual if if did, although not impossible.
A linear equation has a constant rate of change, or slope (change in y (dependent) value over change in x (independent) value), when graphed forms a straight trend line, and is in the format y=mx+b (y is dependent value, m is slope, x is independent value, and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
No. When you draw a best line of fit on the scattered plot, the line would not be straight.

It is the description of a slope of a line which connects from many points you mark to show a way that your graph data may increase or decrease. If it is decreasing, you have a downwards trend. If it is increasing, you have an upwards trend.
The slope of the trend line is the rate of change of the data. It is the ratio of the change of the dependent variable to the rate of change of the independent variable. Slope represents the value of the correlation.
It is the rise/run for the line.
It is a description of the Slope of the line with respect to the two variables you are plotting. In Statistics, you may be plotting AGE versus Car Mileage and a line drawn through the data is the Trend Line.
A trend is a math term. It is on a line graph. It is a slope between two variables.

The slope of a straight line is often described by the rise over the run. This is the ratio of the vertical distance between two points and the horizontal distance between them (taken in the same order).
The trend of a graph is the slope of any line on the graph that indicated a positive or growth factor and/or a negative or decaying factor. If the slope goes negative, the graph's line will go down thus indicating decay. If the slope becomes positive, the graph's line will go up thus indicating growth.
Yes. Try, for example, population projections for an endangered species.
If the slope of the trend line between variables X and Y is m, then an increase in value of 1 unit in X is associated with an increase of m units in the value of Y. The relationship is one of association, not of cause-and-effect.
