Interpret the slope (least squares regression line provided), statistics assignment help

Because colas tend to replace healthier beverages and colas contain caffeine and phosphoric​ acid, researchers wanted to know whether consumption of cola is associated with lower bone mineral density in women. The data shown in the accompanying table represent the typical number of cans of soda consumed in a week and the bone mineral density of the femoral neck for a sample of 15 women. The data were collected through a prospective cohort study. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (f).
