Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.
3Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.

- Practice rearranging a linear equation into y = mx + b form to identify the slope
- Isolate y by moving the x term to the other side and dividing by the coefficient of y
- Work with slopes that are whole numbers, negative numbers, and fractions
