Question 1037977
y = 0.0344x – 10.107  Put in the year for x
for 1890 (x), 54.9 degrees.
for 2018 (x), 59.3 degrees
set y=62
(62+10.107)/0.0344 = year
2096.13, or early 2096.
x is year
y is temperature
slope is change in y over change in x
the units are temperature/year, so the slope is the change in temperature per year.  One could interpret this as the average temperature is rising at 0.03 degrees per year.  Parenthetically, a year a degree above normal (which would occur in 33 years) is noticeable.
The correlation coefficient is  strong, since we define that as being greater than 0.7.
r^2=0.6242
r is the sqrt (0.6242) or 0.79.
