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.
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.

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 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 1.50 phones assembled, you receive $1. The y
-intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.
The slope means that, for every 1.50 phones assembled, you receive $1. The y -intercept means that you receive $20 a day regardless of the number of phones produced.

Answer 1

The correct interpretation of the slope and y-intercept of the equation \( y = 1.50x + 20 \) 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.

So the first response is accurate.

• The slope (1.50) indicates the additional income earned for each phone assembled.
• The y-intercept (20) indicates the fixed daily wage you receive regardless of production.
