The relationship between the amount of daily food waste measured in pounds and the number of people in a household.

Equation of the line : y = 1.218x -0.09

Slope is 1.218

Slope meaning the rate of change of y coordinates with respect to the x coordinatei.e steepness of the line

In the given situation the : The quantify food that is wasted by person in the house is more than 1.218 times
