Answer:

0.055 is the number of additional points scored for each weight session

8.7 is the number of points scored with no weight sessions

Explanation:

The problem statement tells you that the equation gives the number of points scored, and that n represents weightlifting sessions. The coefficient 0.055 applied to n translates the number of weightlifting sessions (n) to points (p).

0.055 is the increase in average points scored for each additional weightlifting session

__

The number 8.7 is the number of points scored when there have been 0 weightlifting sessions.
