Substitute x+1 for x in the equation:
y = 0.054(x+1) + 61.136
y = 0.054x + 0.054 + 61.136
y = 0.054x + 61.19
This means that for each additional one thousand people in a city, the least squares regression line predicts it will have 0.054 more grocery stores.
y = 0.054(x+1) + 61.136
y = 0.054x + 0.054 + 61.136
y = 0.054x + 61.19
This means that for each additional one thousand people in a city, the least squares regression line predicts it will have 0.054 more grocery stores.
