The linear regression equation is y = 61.93x - 1.79. Use the equation to predict how far this person will travel after 10 hours of driving.

• 100

• 730.15

• 617.5

• 500

The linear regression equation is

y = 61.93x - 1.79. According to the model, the slope can be interpreted as:

• After 0 hours of driving, they went 61.93 miles.

• They drove at a speed of 61.93 miles per hour.

• They drove 61.93 miles total.

• They drove 61.93 hours total.
