Data were collected on the distance a frisbee will travel when thrown at a certain speed. The speed, s, is measured in miles per hour, and distance, y, is measured in yards. The regression line is given by y=3.17+52.35s. What are the slope and y-intercept of the regression line and their interpretation in the context of the problem? O The slope, 52.35, indicates that the distance increases by an average of 52.35 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, 3.17, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is zero miles per hour. O The slope, 3.17, indicates that the distance increases by an average of 3.17 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, 52.35, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is zero miles per hour. O The slope, 3.17, indicates that the distance decreases by an average of 3.17 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, 52.35, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is one mile per hour. O The slope, 52.35, indicates that the distance decreases by an average of 52.35 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, 3.17, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is one mile per hour.

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The profit of a company decreased steadily overa ten-year spam.The following ordered pairs shows dollars and the number of units sold in hundreds and the profit in thousands ofover the ten-year span, (number of units sold, profit) for specific recorded years: (46,600),(48,550),(50,505),(52,540),(54,495). Use linear regression to determine a function Pwhere the profit in thousands of dollars depends onthe number of units sold in hundreds.
