Given below is the scatterplot for the data. The regression equation for this context is found to be:
y= 84.5 - 4.4x
where Y is female life expectancy in years, and is the average number of births per woman.
-Is the interpretation of the y-intercept meaningful in the context? Why?

A) No, since it is an example of extrapolation.
B) No, since the lowest value for average births per woman in the data set was 1.5.
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B
