Q:

Mark and Jessica are each making a linear model to predict the population of squirrels in the town park. The are both using the same data points to find an equation of the line of best fit: the squirrel population, p, in 2002 and the squirrel population, q, in 2011. Mark is using the year as the x-value, and he represents his data as (2002, p) and (2011, q). Jessica is using the years since 2000 as her x-value, and she represents her data as (2, p) and (11, q). Which statement best describes how their prediction equations compare? Their equations have the same slopes and y-intercepts. Their equations have different slopes and y-intercepts. Their equations have different y-intercepts but the same slopes. Their equations have the same y-intercepts but different slopes.
