Answer:

Slope is positive.

Every additional hat produced results in a cost increase of $0.60

Before producing any hats the cost is about $100

Explanation:

Calculate the slope or rate of change using two data points from the table.


m = (111-105)/(20-10) =(6)/(10)

This means that the cost rises by $6 for every 10 hats or 0.60 per 1 hat. The slope is positive and increasing.

This also means that for 0 hats the cost is 105-6 = 99 or about $100.
