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?

options:

a
Runners will decrease their race time by 2 minutes for every 1 hour they have trained.
b
Runners will increase their race time by 2 minutes for every 1 hour they have trained.
c
Runners will increase their race time by 1 minute for every 2 hours they have trained.
d
Runners will decrease their race time by 1 minute for every 2 hours they have traine
