Transcribed Image Text:**Understanding Slope in Relationships Between Variables**
**Question:**
A zero slope shows:
- ○ positive relationship between two variables
- ○ no relationship between two variables
- ○ does not show anything
- ○ negative relationship between two variables
In this educational exercise, you're asked to identify what a zero slope indicates about the relationship between two variables.
**Explanation:**
Slope represents the rate of change between two variables on a graph. A zero slope suggests that as one variable changes, the other variable remains constant, indicating no relationship between the two variables. This is often illustrated by a horizontal line on a graph. Understanding the implications of different slopes helps in analyzing data and identifying the nature of relationships between variables in various contexts.
