The graph above is a scatter plot with 49 points. The 49 points represent the number of elementary and high schools in 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia (the numbers of schools in California and Texas are too large to appear on a graph of this scale). The dotted line represents a regression line.
For each blank, select the answer choice that correctly completes the statement according to the information in the graph.

1. The slope of the regression line is .

2. Approximately percent of the 49 states (including the District of Columbia) represented in the graph have fewer than 500 elementary schools.

The slope is determined by the relationship of values of x and y, for how many values of y, x change. For every 200 unit value of y; there is a change of 500 units of x. Hence the ratio of change in y per change in y = 200/500 = 0.4 that is less than 1

Answer: C

But if take for how many values of x, y changes we get a slope of greater than 1. that is ration of change in x per change in y = 500/200= 2.5 that is greater than 1.

what is the right method???

Generally, slope of the line is considered as (Y2-Y1)/ (X2-X1) in my opinion. Therefore it will be less than 1.
