What is the meaning of the slope of the trend line shown on the scatterplot?  

A A plant grows about 3 inches for every 2 hours of sunlight it receives.  

B A plant grows about 2 inches for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.  

C A plant grows about 3 inches for every 1 hour of sunlight it receives.  

D A plant grows about 1 inch for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

Solution

If we look at the graph, we can see that in 6 hours the tomato plant grew by 2 inches.

At the X axis, when x = 6 hours, the y co-ordinate at X = 6 hours is 2 inches.

Hence, It can be interpreted that 1 inch of the tomato plant grows in 3 hours.

Hence, option D is correct
