Baruti, a ranger in Kruger National Park in South Africa, collected data about the elephant population in the

park. She compared the foot lengths of the elephants and their shoulder height (both in centimeters) and created

The fitted line has a slope of 5.89.
What is the best interpretation of this slope?
