Asked by Avery Williams

Emmy is the manager at Sagebrush Horse Rescue. To help plan the weekly schedules, she keeps track of how long it takes to feed the horses each day and the number of volunteers who help that day. This scatter plot shows the data she collected and the line of best fit.

The equation for the line of best fit is y = -4x + 48. According to the equation, each additional volunteer decreases the time it takes to feed the horses by about 4 or 48 minutes.

By 4 minutes. The slope -4 means for each 1 more volunteer, the feeding time drops by 4 minutes. The 48 is the y-intercept (predicted time with 0 volunteers), not the per-volunteer change.
