Linear Models -- Tutor Intake Assessment

This is a quick check on using the equation of a fitted line: writing it,
interpreting slope and y-intercept in context, and making predictions.
The goal is to see where to focus our first sessions together, not to
grade you. Work independently, without notes.

A linear model is y = -4x + 95, where x is number of absences
and y is predicted exam score. The data used to build this model
covered students with 0 to 12 absences. What exam score does the
model predict for a student with 6 absences?
