Based on the information provided, here are the responses you need to fill in:
-
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).
-
The slope represents an additional $2,000 in salary for each additional year of employment. (assuming this was the yearly increase in salary).
-
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.
-
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!
