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
.(1 point)

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

Answer 1

The correct choice 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."

Explanation: slope 1.50 = dollars per phone; y-intercept 20 = pay when x = 0 phones.
