A study at a certain cafè found a linear relationship between outdoor temperature and average number of cups of hot chocolate sold. The relationship can be approximated by the following linear
model, where x is the outdoor temperature in Fahrenheit, and C(x) is number of cups sold:
C(x) = - 1.148x + 100.06
Choose the correct interpretation of the meaning of the slope for the context of this linear model.
O The average number of cups sold decreases by 1.148 for every one degree decrease in
temperature
O The temperature decreases by 1.148 for every one cup sold
The average number of cups sold decreases by 1.148 for every one degree increase in
temperature
O The average number of cups sold is 100.06 when the temperature is 0 degrees
