    The average number of eggs laid per hen per day is given by 0.97.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    According to a research, it is recorded that the number of hens (given by x variable) and the number of eggs (given by y variable) laid by those x hens over a day is given by the equation

    y = 0.97x + 3.06 ... (1)

    Now, here 0.97 is the slope of the line that means the average number of eggs laid per hen per day is given by 0.97. (Answer)
