A study was done to investigate the relationship between a new anti-inflammatory medicine and weight gain. The correlating linear model is shown below, where x represents the number of days on the medicine, and y represents the weight gain, in pounds. Interpret the slope.

y = 0.7x
An additional day on the medicine is associated with 0.7 pounds of weight gain.

An additional 0.7 days on the medicine is associated with a pound of weight gain.

Not enough information is provided to interpret the slope.

Zero days on the medicine is associated with 0.7 pounds of weight gain.
