Amie collects data on the fuel efficiency, in miles per gallon, and the mass, in kilograms, of several different cars. She creates a scatter plot and determines that the line of the best fit for
the scatter plot has the equation y = 43.28 -0.011x, where y is the fuel efficiency, in miles per
gallon, and x is the mass, in kilograms. Based on this model, which of the following statements
is true?
O For every 100-kilogram increase in mass, the fuel efficiency of car decreases by about 0.4 miles
per gallon
O For every 100-kilogram increase in mass, the fuel efficiency of car increases by about 1.1 miles
per gallon
O For every 100-kilogram increase in mass, the fuel efficiency of car decreases by about 1.1 miles
per gallon
O For every 100-kilogram increase in mass, the fuel efficiency of car increases by about 0.4 miles
per gallon
