Mark and Jessica are each making a linear model to predict o1 the population of squirrels in the town park. They are both
using the same data points to find to 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.
O Their equations have the same y-intercepts but different slopes.
