Question

PLEASE HELP ME FAST!!!!! 1.) The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of car accidents in a month and the number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving. The equation represents the linear model for this data. y=−0.0067x+17 What does the number -0.0067 in the equation mean in this context? A. The number of accidents increased by 0.67 per month for every additional 100 drivers in the program. B. There were 0.67 accidents per month. C. The number of accidents was reduced by 0.67 per month for every additional 100 drivers in the program. D. The number of accidents was reduced by 0.67 per month every month. E. The number of accidents was reduced by 0.67 per month for every additional driver in the program.

Answer 1

Heyo!!!

this should be your answer in the picture below!

Answer 2

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

The given linear model is

`y=-0.0067x+17`

Where, y is the the number of car accidents in a month and x is the number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving.

The slope intercept form of a linear function is

`y=mx+b`

Where, m is the slope of the function and b is y-intercept.

From the given function it is noticed that the slope of the function is -0.0067.

It means the number of accidents was reduced by 0.0067 per month.

`0.0067=0.67\%`

Therefore the number of accidents was reduced by 0.67 per month for every additional 100 drivers in the program. Option C is correct.
