An illustration shows the first quadrant of a coordinate plane titled Chapters of a Books versus pages. The x-axis shows chapters and ranges from 0 to 20 in increments of 1. The y-axis shows pages and ranges from 0 to 220 in increments of 20.
Ten points are plotted on the graph. The points are plotted at approximate coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 20 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 45 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 50 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 8 comma 95 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 10 comma 90 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 12 comma 130 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 17 comma 170 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 18 comma 160 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 20 comma 210 right parenthesis. An upward slanting line starts at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and continues to left parenthesis 17 comma 170 right parenthesis.

The correct interpretation of the slope of the linear model is: For every chapter of a book, there is an average of 10 pages.

The y-intercept of the linear model is approximately (0,0), which means that when there are 0 chapters, there are 0 pages.
