Giada · Answer 1

predicted GPA=9.21, residual = 1.36, a correct value of slope would be 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

y=0.1x - 3.49

y: GPA

x: IQ

y=0.1 (127) - 3.49

y = 9.21

Predicted GPA = 9.21

residual = 9.21 - 7.85 = 1.36

The equation doesn't model the exact relationship between GPA and IQ.

A better slope value could be

7.85 = m (127) - 3.49

m=0.09
