Data were collected on the distance a hockey puck will travel when hit by a hockey stick 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 ŷ = 3.12 + 61.02s.

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the regression line. Interpret each value in context.

The slope, b = 3.12, indicates that the distance increases by 3.12 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, a = 61.02, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is zero miles per hour.
The slope, b = 3.12, indicates that the distance decreases by 3.12 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, a = 61.02, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is one mile per hour.
The slope, b = 61.02, indicates that the distance decreases by 61.02 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, a = 3.12, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is one mile per hour.
The slope, b = 61.02, indicates that the distance increases by 61.02 yards for every one mile per hour of speed. The y-intercept, a = 3.12, is the distance estimated by this model if the speed is zero miles per hour.
