Consider the data shown on the graph.



Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse.
• The y-intercept represents a starting salary of $Response area for a new employee.
• The slope represents an additional $Response area in salary for each additional year of employment.
• If the starting salary for a new employee is changed to $35,000 and the yearly salary increase is unchanged, the new equation would be y = Response areax + Response area.
• If the yearly salary increase is changed to $3,000 and the starting salary remains the same, the new equation would be y = Response areax + Response area.

Based on the information provided, here are the responses you need to fill in:

  1. The y-intercept represents a starting salary of $30,000 for a new employee. (assuming that this was the initial starting salary based on the context).

  2. The slope represents an additional $2,000 in salary for each additional year of employment. (assuming this was the yearly increase in salary).

  3. If the starting salary for a new employee is changed to $35,000 and the yearly salary increase is unchanged, the new equation would be y = 2000x + 35000.

  4. If the yearly salary increase is changed to $3,000 and the starting salary remains the same, the new equation would be y = 3000x + 30000.

Make sure to double-check these values against your specific graph data to confirm accuracy!
