Correct. Slope tells us the average change in Y for every one unit increase in X. For this example, X is diameter measured in inches and Y is volume of tree measured in hundred board feet. Since slope = 5.07 is positive, the change in Y is an “increase." Thus, slope tells us that for every one inch increase in tree diameter, the average increase in volume is 5.07 hundred board feet.
