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.

Trystan Parker · Answer 1

the answer is - for each 9.5 minutes, the runner ran 1 mile

Mariana Dougherty · Answer 2

for each 9.5 minutes, the runner ran 1 mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

you cant know the minimum or maximum distance with just an equation.

y = 9.5x

x is the number of miles ran and y is the time it takes, then if x = 1 = > 9.5

That means when he runs 1 mile it takes 9.5 minutes to do it
