A scatterplot is used to display data for a runner where x is the number of miles run, and y is the time, in minutes, that it takes to run that distance. Which interpretation describes a line of best fit of y = 9. 5x for the data in the scatterplot? For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9. 5 miles. For each 9. 5 minutes, the runner ran 1 mile. The minimum distance with a recorded time is 9. 5 miles. The maximum distance with a recorded time is 9. 5 miles.

The interpretation that describes a line of best fit of y = 9.5x for the data in the scatterplot is (a) For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9.5 miles

The equation of the line of best fit is given as:

[tex]y = 9.5x[/tex]

The line of best fit is represented as:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where m represents the rate or slope.

So, by comparison:

[tex]m = 9.5[/tex]

This means that, the number of miles travelled every minute is 9.5

Hence, the true statement is (a)
