Slope Intercept: The graph of a linear function is a straight line. Although the graphs are all straight lines, the slant or steepness of the lines vary from graph to graph. The slant or steepness of a straight line is referred to as the slope of the line. (https://www.ck12.org/c/algebra/slope/lesson/Finding-the-Slope-of-a-Line-MSM8/?referrer=concept_details)

Interquartile Range (IQR)
How do you find the IQR?
-We can find the interquartile range or IQR in four simple steps:
-
Order the data from least to greatest.
-
Find the median.
-
Calculate the median of both the lower and upper half of the data.
-
The IQR is the difference between the upper and lower medians.
-Example
1. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
2. Median of the data set: 5
3. A. 2 3 4 is the lower half of the data- below the median of the entire data set.
- Median of the lower data: 3
B. 6 7 8 is the upper half of the data- above the median of the entire data set.
- Median of thr upper data: 7
4. IQR: 7-3: 4
