A graph has the most appropriate scales and units for this situation is: A. graph A.
In Mathematics and Geometry, the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line refers to the general equation of a linear function and it is represented by this mathematical equation;
y = mx + b
Where:
- m represents the slope.
- x and y are the points.
- b represents the y-intercept or initial value.
Based on the information provided about this warehouse, we can logically deduce the following parameters;
slope (m) = 3,000
y-intercept (b) = 6,000.
In this context, a linear equation that models the situation can be written as follows;
y = mx + b
y = 3000x + 6000
Additionally, the x-axis of the graph must be labelled Items in Inventory (thousands) while the x-axis of the graph must be labelled Number of Months since Opening;
Scale on x-axis: 2 units for 6,000 items.
Scale on y-axis: 2 units for 2 months.
Complete Question;
When a warehouse opened, it had an inventory of 6,000 items. Every month, the inventory increases by 3,000 items.
Which graph has the most appropriate scales and units for this situation?
