Question

The height and weight of adults can be related by the equation y=48.3x−127 where x is height in feet and y is weight in pounds.

Answer 1

we conclude that the correct option is A, the slope is:

"the average number of pounds per foot tall"

What does the slope of the line represent?

The linear equation:

y = 48.3*x - 127

Relates the height, x, and the weight, y of an adult.

Then the slope, which is 48.3, should have units of mass over height.

Now, if x is in feet and y is in pounds, then the slope has units of pounds/feet.

Then it represents the mean number of pounds per feet. So we conclude that the correct option is A:

"the average number of pounds per foot tall"
