Question

You work for a manufacturing company on a production line that manufactures cell phones. You are paid $20 a day plus $1.50 for each phone that you assemble. Interpret the slope and y

-intercept of the equation of the trend line y=1.50x+20

options:

.The slope means that, for every 1.50 phones assembled, you receive $1. The y
-intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.
The slope means that, for every 1.50 phones assembled, you receive $1. The y -intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.

The slope means that, for every 20 phones assembled, you receive $1.50. The y
-intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.
The slope means that, for every 20 phones assembled, you receive $1.50. The y -intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.

The slope means that, for every phone assembled, you receive $20. The y
-intercept means that you receive $1.50 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.
The slope means that, for every phone assembled, you receive $20. The y -intercept means that you receive $1.50 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.

The slope means that, for every phone assembled, you receive $1.50. The y
-intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.

To interpret the slope and y-intercept of the equation $ y = 1.50x + 20 $:

The slope (1.50) indicates that for every additional phone assembled (unit increase in $ x $), you earn an additional $1.50. This means that for each phone you assemble, you receive an extra $1.50.
The y-intercept (20) means that when no phones are assembled ($ x = 0 $), you still receive $20. This represents the base pay you receive daily, regardless of the number of phones produced.

Based on this interpretation, the correct option is:

The slope means that, for every phone assembled, you receive $1.50. The y-intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.
