SOLUTION: Scientists measured the annual forest loss (in square kilometers) in a country from 2000 to 2012. They found the regression line
forest loss = 7800 + (1028 � year since 2000)

Question 1051544: Scientists measured the annual forest loss (in square kilometers) in a country from 2000 to 2012. They found the regression line
forest loss = 7800 + (1028 � year since 2000)
for predicting forest loss in square kilometers from years since 2000.
What is the slope of this line?
If we measured forest loss in square meters per year, what would the slope be? Note that there are 106 square meters in a square kilometer.
If we measured forest loss in thousands of square kilometers per year, what would the slope be? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.)
