"Interpret the slope and y-intercept of the equation." Does that mean I just need to state the slope and y-int or is it something else?
I have a quiz tomorrow and the word "interpret" throws me off. Does that mean I just state it or do I do something else?

If it is just y=f(x) then the interpretation is "slop is how fast y changes with x."
However, if the equation has to do with something with units like "blood pressure increases with weight as follows BP = 120 + 0.5(weight -normal weight) then the interpretation of 0.5 is "how fast BP changes with body weight over normal).
