Answer:

A. For every 1 inch of mercury the pressure increases, the boiling point is expected to increase by 1.9°F

Explanation:

A regression model is in the form :

y = mx + c

With m being the slope = rate of change

In regression, the value of the slope gives the rate of change in y value per unit increase in the value of x

The slope in the question above is 1.9, this means for every unit increase in mercury pressure, then boiling point, y increases by 1.9°F
