Anthony's math teacher finds that there's roughly a linear relationship between the amount of time students spend on their homework and their weekly quiz scores. This relationship can be represented by the equation y=57+6.3x, where y represents the expected quiz score and x represents hours spent on homework that week. What is the meaning of the x-value when y=99?

• A student's expected quiz score if they spend 1 hour on their homework

• A student's expected quiz score if they spend 99 hours on their homework

• How many hours a student spends studying all year

• The number of hours a student should spend on their homework to expect a score of 99 on the quiz
