The scatter plot shows the length of a spring (in inches) when a stretch force (in pounds) is applied. The equation represents t
he linear model for this data.
y = 0.73x + 1
What does the number 0.73 in the equation mean in this context?
a The spring has no stretch when a force of 0.73 pound is applied.
b The spring will stretch 0.73 inch for every pound of force applied.
c The spring stretches a distance of 1 inch when a force of 0.73 pound is applied.
d The spring stretches at a rate of 0.73 pound per inch.
e The spring has a length of 0.73 inch when no force is applied.
y = 0.73x + 1
