Question

An employee compiled sales data for a company once each month. The scatter plot shows the sales for the company over time. The equation represents the linear model for this data. y = 0.94x + 12.5 According to the model, what were the company's sales when the employee began collecting data? $5000 $12,500 $20,000 $35,000 $45,000 A graph measuring sales in relation to time. A line indicates that sales increase as time increases

Answer 1

$12,500

Explanation:

Answer 2

The amount is $12500

Explanation:

Given

`y = 0.94x + 12.5`

Required

Sales when they began collecting data

This implies that; calculate y when x = 0

`y = 0.94*0 + 12.5`

`y = 0 + 12.5`

`y = 12.5`

Hence, the amount is $12500
