A scatterplot shows several points with number of hours watching TV versus weekly wages. The researcher came up with the following equation for the trendline. Weekly wages = -50.755*(hours of TV watched) + 180.

What is the significance of the slope in the context of this model?

Question 2 options:

The more TV someone watches, the more money they will earn.


The more TV someone watches, the less money they will earn.


The amount of TV someone watches does not impact the money they earn. It will stay the same no matter what.
