Answer:
It means that for every 1 unit of time, the equation shows an increase of 8.38 units of distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]. Any number that does not have a denominator technically has a denominator of 1. Therefore, your slope is actually [tex]\frac{8.38}{1}[/tex]. That means you have a rise, or the vertical progression, of 8.38 while your run, or your horizontal progression, is 1. For every unit your line travels horizontally, it travels 8.38 units vertically. I hope this makes sense.
