Provide students with an example on how to write the equation of a line given two points as a review http://www.mathworksheetsgo.com/sheets/algebra/linear-equation/write-equation-from-2-points-worksheet.php
Baltimore Ravens Year Number of Touchdowns 2002 36 2003 41 2004 33 2005 25 2006 38 2007 27 2008 42 2009 47 2010 2011 2012 44
Touchdowns by the Baltimore Ravens Using two points, what is the linear regression equation? (2, 33) (8, 47) slope = 7/3 33 = 7/3(2) + B 30.6 = B Y=7/3X +30.6 Using all the data, what is the linear regression equation? Y = 1.1818X +32.36 Remember the values of x are 2 and 8 because the x value Year Since 2002
Touchdowns by the Baltimore Ravens What does the slope mean in the context of the problem? Each season the Ravens will increase the number of touchdowns by 1.18 (or 2.3 depending on the equation). Based on the equation, how many touchdowns should the Ravens score in the 2013 season? 2013-2002 = 11 y = 1.18(11)+32.36 The Ravens should score about 45 touchdowns for the 2013 season For GT students, which equation should be used to make predictions in the future? Why did you choose that equation? Why is one equation better than other?
