A regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The least squares regression line is weight = -5.94 + 0.1875 length.
Explain in words what this model means (slop and intercept)

A random sample of 147 Coastal State graduates from the last five years was selected, and it was found that the least-squares regression equation relating cumulative grade point average (denoted by x, on a 4-point scale) and annual income (denoted by y, in thousands of dollars) was y = 37.79+5.51x. The standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately 2.10. Test for a significant linear relationship between grade point average and annual income for the recent graduates of Coastal State by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B1.
