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

1 answer

In this equation, the slope is represented by 1.50, which means that for each additional phone that you assemble, you will earn $1.50 more per day.

The y-intercept is represented by 20, which means that even if you don't assemble any phones, you will still earn a base pay of $20 per day.

So, the equation y=1.50x + 20 represents your total pay for the day based on the number of phones you assemble.
