She found that there is a positive linear association between p and d that is best modeled by the equation d = 15.7p + 2.0.What statement is true?The model predicts that for each additional 2 people at a table, the total bill increases by $15.70.The model predicts that the average bill for any table with 2 people is $15.70.The model predicts that the average total bill for a table is $15.70.The model predicts that for each additional person at a table, the total bill increases by $15.70.
