mediumA group of 10 gardeners recorded data on the germination rates of their tomato crop for one growing season. The scatterplot shows the relationship between the number of tomato seeds planted, x, and the number of tomato seeds that germinated, y, for each of the gardeners. A line of best fit is also shown.
Which of the following is the best interpretation of the slope of the line of best fit in this context?
Which of the following is the best interpretation of the slope of the line of best fit in this context?
A
The number of tomato seeds planted is predicted to increase by 70 seeds every 100 days.
B
The number of tomato seeds planted is predicted to increase by 350 seeds every 100 days.
C
The number of tomato seeds that germinate is predicted to increase by 70 seeds for every additional 100 tomato seeds that are planted.
D
The number of tomato seeds that germinate is predicted to increase by 350 seeds for every additional 100 tomato seeds that are planted.
