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

<em>First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator.</em>
<u>Factors of 18</u>: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
<u>Factors of 24</u>: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
<u>Common Factors</u>: 1, 2, 3, 6
<u>GCF</u>: 6
<em>Now, divide the numerator by 6 and the denominator by 6.</em>
18 ÷ 6 = 3
24 ÷ 6 = 4
<em>Set these as your new numerator and denominator.</em>
The answer is (b).
