What the best interpertation of the slope of the line

The slope of the line is the line of best fit, and it shows that even though all the points are different, they are all in the same area and they are increasing

1.8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the map is 1 : 15000.

This means that every 1 cm on the map is equal to 15000 cm on the ground.

12 cm on the map will therefore be:

12 * 15000 = 180000 cm

Let us convert to kilometres:

100000 cm = 1 km

180000 cm = 180000 / 100000 = 1.8 km

12 cm on the map will be 1.8 km on the ground.
