Slope of a Fitted Line

The linear model for some butterfly data is given by the equation \(y = 0.238x + 4.642\). Which of the following best describes the slope of the model?

• 
• For every 1 mm the wingspan increases, the length of the butterfly increases 4.642 mm.

• For every 1 mm the length of the butterfly increases, the wingspan increases 0.238 mm.

• For every 1 mm the length of the butterfly increases, the wingspan increases 4.642 mm.
