Answer:
B. The slope of the line of best fit shows that for each inch of rainfall, the growth of the plants increases 0.8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:

You're close, but see that the line slopes up, not down. If the growth decreased by 0.8 inches, the line would be going down, right? So the right answer would be B., because the growth of plants increases by 0.8 inches for each inch of rainfall.
You can use the equation for the line to check your answer.
When x = 0, y = 0. When x = 1, y = 0.8. When x = 2, y = 1.6, and so on. The line's y output increases by 0.8 every time x increases by 1.
