Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question: The slope has no practical meaning since the total number runs scored in a game must be positive. As x goes up, y goes up. For every additional thousand people who attend a game, there tends to be an average increase of 0.18 runs scored. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question: If the attendance of a baseball game is 0, then 2 runs will be scored. The average runs scored is predicted to be 2.
