The slope of the linear model, which is 17.5, represents the change in mass (in grams) for each additional day (x) of age.
Thus, the best interpretation of the slope is:
Each additional day is associated with an additional 17.5 grams of mass.
A veterinarian collected data on the association between age and mass of Boxer puppies. A line of best fit was computed. The equation for the line is y=17.5x+480
