Question 10 (2 points)
An economist creates a scatter plot comparing years of experience to yearly salary (in dollars) at a particular company. The trend line through the data can be described by the equation y = 9,000x + 25,000.

What is the slope and what does it mean?

Question 10 options:

9,000; For their every year of experience an employee has, their salary goes up by this amount.


25,000; For their every year of experience an employee has, their salary goes up by this amount.


25,000; Regardless of how much experience an employee has, this is the minimum amount the employee will earn at this company.


9,000; Regardless of how much experience an employee has, this is the minimum amount the employee will earn at this company.

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 6: The slope is 5/3 because the y-intercpet is your rise and it rose up 5 units and x-intercept is your run so it shifted 3 units to the right which means the whole thing is also positive.

Question 9: $135

Question 10: Its either the first or last option

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer for question 6 would be 5/3

and for question 9 the answer would be 135

and I believe question 10 is 9,000; For their every year of experience an employee has, their salary goes up by this amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (also can be called rate of change) is solved by change in the y variable/change in the x variable or also known as rise/run

hope this helped! :)
