Question

12. A running club keeps track of the number of hours each person has trained for a race and the length of time it takes the person to run the race

indicating the number of hours a runner has trained and the y-axis indicating the time, in minutes, it took to run the race. The equation y=60
data. What does the slope of the equation represent?
O Runners will decrease their race time by 2 minutes for every 1 hour they have trained
Runners will increase their race time by 1 minute for every 2 hours they have trained
Ооос
O Runners will increase their race time by 2 minutes for every 1 hour they have trained.
O Runners will decrease their race time by 1 minute for every 2 hours they have trained

Answer 1

A. Runners will decrease their race time by 1 minute for every 2 hours they have trained.

Explanation:

Is the actual equation this:

A running club keeps track of the number of hours each person has trained for a race and the length of time it takes the person to run the race. A scatter plot is graphed with the xxx-axis indicating the number of hours a runner has trained and the y-axis indicating the time, in minutes, it took to run the race. The equation y=60-0.5x is used as the line of best fit of the data. What does the slope of the equation represent?
