A coordinate plane's x-axis ranges from 0 to 300 by 50-unit increments and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 12,000 by 2,000-unit increments. The x-axis is labeled 'Number of Laptops Sold' and the y-axis is labeled 'Revenue' with dollar units.

Answer 1

To interpret the graph, we need to identify the point that corresponds to selling 75 laptops on the x-axis and determine the corresponding revenue value on the y-axis.

Since the x-axis represents the number of laptops sold and ranges from 0 to 300 in increments of 50, the point for 75 laptops falls between 50 and 100.

Looking at the y-axis, which represents revenue in increments of $2,000 ranging from $0 to $12,000, we can determine the revenue corresponding to 75 laptops sold.

If the graph shows a linear relationship, we can estimate that:

• At 50 laptops, the revenue might be around $4,000 (hypothetical approximation),
• At 100 laptops, the revenue might rise to around $8,000 (hypothetical approximation).

Since 75 laptops is halfway between 50 and 100, we would estimate the revenue at that point to be around the midpoint of $4,000 and $8,000, which is $6,000.

Therefore, the answer is $6,000.
