Answer:

C. 53 items

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve for the number of items sold, plug in 6 for x, as we are asked to find the predicted number of items sold by a person with 6 years of experience.

Solve for y:

  • y = 8.6x + 2
  • y = 8.6(6) + 2
  • y = 51.6 + 2
  • y = 53.6

Since you can't have a partial item, we round down to the nearest whole number, so we are predicting around 53 items.
