Question

Please hurry, 15 points and it's overdue.

How would you characterize the relationship between money spent on advertising and items sold? Explain.


Sally uses the function y = 1.6x + 21.5 to model the situation. What score does the model predict should be spent in advertising to sell 30 items?


What does the number 21.5 in Part (b) mean in the context of the situation?

Answer 1

The relationship is positive.

The model predicts a score of 60.

Not sure what part b is.

Explanation:

Since while the money spent on advertising increases while the items sold increases, we have a positive relation between both variables.

By looking at where 30 is on the graph, we can see it lines up with 60,the middle between $40 and $80 on the y axis and so we know this is the cost associated with this value.
