The answer cannot be determined from the information provided.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A linear regression line has an equation in the form Y = a + bX, where X stands for the explanatory variable and Y is used to denote the dependent variable in the equation. The slope of the line is b, and a is the intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

A regression line (LSRL - Least Squares Regression Line) is a straight line that explains how a dependent variable y changes as an explanatory variable x changes. The line is a mathematical model used to predict the value of y for a given x. Regression requires that we have an explanatory and response variable.

A shift in the demand curve for pretzels increases the price of pretzels from $1.25 to $1.75 and its quantity demanded from 30 m
Sever21 [200]
Initial price, P₀ = $1.25
Initial demand, Q₀ = 30 million

New price, P₁ = $1.75
New demand, Q₁ = 35 million

By definition, price elasticity is
\eta = \frac{(Q_{1}-Q_{0})/(Q_{1}+Q_{0})}{(P_{1}-P_{0})/(P_{1}+P_{0})}
η = (5/65)/(0.5/3)
   = 0.4615

Answer: η = 0.46 (nearest hundredth)

This means that greater demand makes it possible to increase the price. Usually, this is not the case because lowering the price increases sales.
