A scatterplot is used to display data for a runner where x is the number of miles run, and y is the time, in minutes, that it takes to run that distance.

For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9.5 miles.
For each 9.5 minutes, the runner ran 1 mile.
The minimum distance with a recorded time is 9.5 miles.

The correct interpretation is: "For each 9.5 minutes, the runner ran 1 mile."

Explanation: y = 9.5x has slope 9.5 with x in miles and y in minutes, so it takes 9.5 minutes to run each additional mile (i.e., 1 mile per 9.5 minutes).
