we conclude that the correct option is A, the slope is:
<em>"the average number of pounds per foot tall"</em>
<h3>What does the slope of the line represent?</h3>
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"
