The slope of the line of best fit represents the change in the number of miles driven (Y) for each additional month (X). Since the slope is 1,727, this means that for each month, Gianna drives 1,727 more miles.
Thus, the correct interpretation of the slope is:
Gianna drives 1,727 miles every month.
