Question

What is the slope of a line which is parallel to y-axis?

  1. -1
  2. 0
  3. 1
  4. Not defined

The correct answer is: Not defined


    If a line is parallel to y-axis then angle formed by it with x-axis is zero. So, its inclination is 90°. Hence slope = tan 90° which is not defined.

    Correct option is (c).
    The slope of line parallel to y axis is undefined or not defined .
    The line will be vertical.

    A survey was made among students in a district and the scatter plot shows the level of reading and height for 16 students in the district. Describe the association and give a possible reason for it.

    Correct option is (d)
    When the level of reading is 2, heights of student is 50 inches
    When the level of reading is 5, heights of student is 55 inches
    When the level of reading is 7, heights of student is 60inches
    When the level of reading is 6, heights of student is  45,55,60 inches respectively.
    The graph shows when level of reading increases heights of students also increase , which means the garph is positive but for same level of reading there are more than one students of different heights which the association is non linear

    David asked 20 people if they can buy a new product that he developed at each of several prices. The scatter plot shows how many of the 20 people said “yes” at a given price. Describe the association between price and the number of buyers.

    Correct option is (a)
    When David kept the price of his product $2 there were total 20 buyers
    when he increased the price to $4 the number of buyers reduced to 19
    when he further increase  the price to $8 the number of buyers reduced to 11
    The graph is clearly depicting when the dependent variable increases the independent decreases and the change in the dependent is not constant with the change iof independent variable
    and hence it shows a case of non linear association

    Alexa is training for a 10K race. For each of her training runs, she recorded the distance she ran and the time she ran. She made a scatter plot of her data and drew a trend line. Use the trend line to predict how long it would take Alexa to run 4.5 miles.

      
      
      
      
      
      
    On x axis the graph has distance in miles and on y axis times in minute.
    For 1 mile alexa took 7.5 minute
    for 2 miles she took 15 minutes
    Similarily the trend of graph is clearly depicting the time taken for alexa to cover a distance of 4.5 mile is 45 minutes .

    The corerect option is (c)
    Reason :
    As the height of David increases with increase in his age , the graph is going upward as both the variable are increasing so it is a case of positive association and since there is almost constant change in both the variable it is shows linear relationship also
