Question

The management at Burgerjoy, a small restaurant, finds that the lower the price of hamburgers, the more hamburgers are sold. This is an example of _____ relationship between price and number of hamburgers sold. a. positive linear b. negative linear c. curvilinear d. nonlinear

Answer 1

Answer:

Negative linear

Explanation:

Negative linear is when two variables move in the opposite direction.  Movement by one variable causes the other to move in the opposite direction. Negative linear is similar to an indirect relationship between the variable.  For Bungerjoy, the variables are price and sales of hamburgers.

An observation has been made that if the price of hamburgers decreases, the sales increase. Changes in the price of the hamburgers will result in sales moving in the opposite direction.  Positive linear correction is when two variables move in the same direction.
