Answer:
Where:
And we can find the intercept using this:
On this case the correct answer would be:
E. none of the above
Since the intercept has no association between the increase/decrease of the dependent variable respect to the independent variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the following options:
A. there is a positive correlation between X and Y
B. there is a negative correlation between X and Y
C. if X is increased, Y must also increase
D. if Y is increased, X must also increase
E. none of the above
If we want a model
where m represent the lope and b the intercept

Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
