Question

Market data are gathered for ice cream sales based on the temperature in Fahrenheit. Interpret the slope and y-intercept (0,38)(0,38) of the linear model, using the ordered pair (65,325)(65,325). Round the slope to the nearest hundredth. (1 point) Responses For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $0.23. For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $0.23. For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $4.42. For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $4.42. For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $4.40. For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $4.40. For every 4.42 increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $1.

Answer 1

The correct interpretation is: For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $0.23.

Answer 2

are you sure

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. Let me double-check the calculation.

Given the ordered pair (0, 38) and (65, 325), we can find the slope of the linear model using the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (325 - 38) / (65 - 0) = 287 / 65 ≈ 4.42

Therefore, the correct interpretation is: For every degree increase in temperature, ice cream sales increase $4.42.
