The fuel efficiency of one type of car is recorded in a scatterplot where the amount of gas used, x (in gallons), is paired with the distance traveled, y (in miles), for various trips. The equation for the line of best fit for the data is y = 28x. How can the y-intercept and slope of this line be interpreted?
The y-intercept is 28, which represents the miles that can be traveled with 1 gallon of gas. The slope is 0, which represents the amount of gas used when 0 miles are traveled.
The y-intercept is 28, which represents the amount of gas used when 0 miles are traveled. The slope is 0, which represents the miles that can be traveled with 1 gallon of gas.
The y-intercept is 0, which represents the number of miles that can be traveled with 1 gallon of gas. The slope is 28, which represents the amount of gas used when 0 miles are traveled.
The y-intercept is 0, which represents the amount of gas used when 0 miles are traveled. The slope is 28, which represents the miles that can be traveled with 1 gallon of gas.
