Answer 1

To predict the revenue generated from an investment of $200.00 in advertising, you can substitute \( x = 200 \) into the equation of the trend line \( y = 2.53x + 43 \).

Substituting the value:

\[ y = 2.53(200) + 43 \]

Calculating this step by step:

1. Calculate \( 2.53 \times 200 \): \[ 2.53 \times 200 = 506 \]

2. Add 43: \[ 506 + 43 = 549 \]

So, the predicted revenue generated from a $200.00 investment in advertising is:

\[ y = 549.00 \]

Therefore, the revenue generated for a $200.00 investment in advertising is $549.00.
