Your teacher surveyed the class to determine the number of hours that each student spent on social media. Your teacher created a table and scatterplot graph that displayed the number of hours and the average final grade based on the hours. The trend line (equation) for the data is y=−7.2x+98.9 . Interpret the slope. How many points does the average final grade decrease for 1 hour on social media?(1 point)
___
The slope of the trend line, -7.2 in this case, represents the rate of change in the average final grade for every one hour spent on social media.
Therefore, for every one hour increase in the time spent on social media, the average final grade decreases by 7.2 points.
