The scatter plot above depicts the relationship between a person’s resting heart rate measured in beats per minute (B) and hours of exercise per week (T). The line of best fit is shown. The equation of the line of best fit is B = 80 - 4T Choose the best interpretation of the slope in the context for this example. Question 3 options: For every hour of exercise per week, a person’s resting heart rate decreases by four beats per minute. For every hour of exercise per week, a person’s resting heart rate increases by four beats per minute. For every four hours of exercise per week, a person’s resting heart rate increases by one beat per minute. For every eighty hours of exercise per week, a person’s resting heart rate decreases by four beats per minute. For every four hours of exercise per week, a person’s resting heart rate increases by eighty beats per minute. 757060555045Hours of Exercise per WeekResting Heart Rate (BPM)

The relationship between a person’s resting heart rate measured in beats per minute (B) and hours of exercise per week (T) is given by the linear equation, B = 80 —4T We know that slope intercept form of an equation of a line is, y = mx + c For the given relation the slope is —4 Slope is negative mean that the variable in y axis decreases with increase in the variable in the x axis. Here the slope is —4, that means one unit of increase in the x axis will results a 4 unit decrease in the y axis. In this context we can explain slope as, for every one hour of exercise per week a person's resting heart rate will decrease by 4 beats per minute. Answer For every hour of exercise per week, a person’s resting heart rate decreases by four beats per minute.
