Answer:

There is an estimated increase in revenue of $0.2 million for each 1,000 additional clicks

Explanation:

The slope (0.2) is the rate of change in Y-hat for each unit change in x.

In this specific case, since Y-hat is the revenue, in millions, and x is the number of clicks, in thousands, the best interpretation is that there is an estimated increase in revenue of $0.2 million for each 1,000 additional clicks
