A running club keeps track of the number of hours each person has trained for a race and the length of time it takes the person to run the race. A scatter plot is graphed with the x-axis indicating the number of hours a runner has trained and the y-axis indicating the time, in minutes, it took to run the race. The equation y=60-0.5x is used as the line of best fit of the data. What does the slope of the equation represent?
