pumpkins
the equation for the line of best fit is $y = 15x + 2$. according to the equation, which of these statements is true?
there are about 15 additional seeds for every additional pound of weight.
there are about 15 additional seeds for every additional two pounds of weight.

Explanation:

The line of best fit follows the slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ (the coefficient of $x$) represents the rate of change. Here, $m=15$, meaning for each 1-unit increase in $x$ (weight in pounds), $y$ (number of seeds) increases by 15.

Answer:

There are about 15 additional seeds for every additional pound of weight.
