The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of hours spent jogging and the number of minutes spent stretching, by the students on a track team:

A scatter plot is shown titled fitness routine. The x-axis is labeled hours jogging and the y-axis is labeled minutes stretching. Data points are located at 0 and 1, 2 and 1, 2 and 2, 4 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 3, 7 and 5, 9 and 4. A line connects the points 0 comma 1 and 10 comma 6.
What is the y-intercept of the line of best fit and what does it represent? (4 points)


1 minute; the number of minutes students stretch when they do not jog

1 hour; the number of hours students jog when they do not stretch

4 hours; the number of hours students jog when they do not stretch

4 minutes; the number of minutes students stretch when they do not jog
