An employee compiled sales data for a company once each month. The scatter plot below shows the sales (in multiples of $1000) for the company over time (in months). The equation represents the linear model for this data. y = 0.94x + 12.5 According to the model, how much do the company's sales increase per month? $9400 $940 $1250 $12,500 $5000

Option B) $940

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The equation represents the company sales in thousand dollars and x is time in months.

Comparing to general form of linear equation.

Comparing, we get,

Slope, m = 0.94

y-intercept, c = 12.5

Interpretation:

Thus, the slope tells us the increase in sales of company with one unit increase in x that is it tells the increase in company's sale per month.

$940 is the increase in company's sale per month.

Option B) $940

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
