The LSR equation for GPA on IQ is y = 0.10x - 3.49. A student with an IQ of 127 has a GPA of 7.85. Find the predicted GPA and residual for this student. Be sure to label each answer. Also, correctly interpret the slope.

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

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
