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.

• 10 miles
• 617.5 miles
• 0.19 miles
• 500 miles

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.
