Solve the problem.The table shows the winning time for the women's 
run at seven consecutive summer Olympic Games.
Let x = 1 correspond to 1960 and let f(x) be the winning time for the women's 
run at the Olympics in year x. Using the points 
and 
style="vertical-align: -4.0px;" /> the following linear function is obtained to model the data: 
What does the slope, -0.09125, indicate?
What will be an ideal response?
The slope, -0.09125, indicates that the winning time in the women's 200-meter run decreased by about 0.09125 seconds per year between 1960 and 1984.
