    The slope of - 3.824 means that if we increase engine size by 1 unit, the mpg will decrease by 3.824 units

    Explanation:

    mpg=36.91-3.824•Engine size

    Writing as y=mx+c then

    mpg=-3.824•Engine size+36.91

    Where mpy represent y, - 3.824 represent m, engine size represent x and 36.91 represent c

    Since from the equation y=mx+c m is the slope and c is the y-intercept, therefore,

    The slope of - 3.824 means that if we increase engine size by 1 unit, the mpg will decrease by 3.824 units
