Is this graph increasing or decreasing

b is the amount by which the costs of the stores (i.e. y) will increase whenever the number of customers patronizing the stores (i.e. x) increases by one.

Step-by-step explanation:

How is the letter b best described?

b is the amount by which the costs of the stores (i.e. y) will increase whenever the number of customers patronizing the stores (i.e. x) increases by one.

That is, b is the coefficient of letter x and it indicates that whenever there is a one unit increase in the number of customers patronizing the stores (i.e. x), the costs of the stores (i.e. y) will increase by $2.08.

To give an example, the regression equation in the question is expressed as:

y = a + bx ............................ (1)

Where;

y = the costs of the stores = ?

a = Intercept = $1,496

b = coefficient = $2.08

x = the number of customers patronizing the stores = ?

Assume x = 1, we can predict y by substituting the values to obtain y1 as follows:

y1 = $1,496 + ($2.08 * 1) = $1,496 + $2.08 = $1,498.08

Now, assume x increases by 1 to 2 i.e. x = 2, we can predict y by substituting the values to obtain y2 as follows:

y2 = $1,496 + ($2.08 * 2) = $1,496 + $4.16 = $1,500.16

The the change is y as a result of one unit increase in x from 1 to 2 can then be obtained as follow:

Change in y = y2 - y1 = $1,500.16 - $1,498.08 = $2.08.

This therefore cofirms that b indicates that whenever there is a one unit increase in the number of customers patronizing the stores (i.e. x), the costs of the stores (i.e. y) will increase by $2.08.

Question 4

1) $\overline{BD}$ bisects $\angle ABC$ , $\overline{EF} \perp \overline{AB}$ , and $\overline{EG} \perp \overline{BC}$ (given)

2) $\angle FBE \cong \angle GBE$ (an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent parts)

3) $\angle BFE$ and $\angle BGE$ are right angles (perpendicular lines form right angles)

4) $\triangle BFE$ and $\triangle BGE$ are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

5) $\overline{BE} \cong \overline{BE}$ (reflexive property)

6) $\triangle BFE \cong \triangle BGE$ (HA)

Question 5

1) $\angle AXO$ and $\angle BYO$ are right angles, $\angle A \cong \angle B$ , $O$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ (given)

2) $\triangle AXO$ and $\triangle BYO$ are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

3) $\overline{AO} \cong \overline{OB}$ (a midpoint splits a segment into two congruent parts)

4) $\triangle AXO \cong \triangle BYO$ (HA)

5) $\overline{OX} \cong \overline{OY}$ (CPCTC)

Question 6

1) $\angle B$ and $\angle D$ are right angles, $\overline{AC}$ bisects $\angle BAD$ (given)

2) $\overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC}$ (reflexive property)

3) $\angle BAC \cong \angle CAD$ (an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent parts)

4) $\triangle BAC$ and $\triangle CAD$ are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

5) $\triangle BAC \cong \triangle DCA$ (HA)

6) $\angle BCA \cong \angle DCA$ (CPCTC)

7) $\overline{CA}$ bisects $\angle ACD$ (if a segment splits an angle into two congruent parts, it is an angle bisector)

Question 7

1) $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ are right angles, $\angle 4 \cong \angle 1$ (given)

2) $\triangle BAD$ and $\triangle CAD$ are right triangles (definition of a right triangle)

3) $\angle 1 \cong \angle 3$ (vertical angles are congruent)

4) $\angle 4 \cong \angle 3$ (transitive property of congruence)

5) $\overline{AD} \cong \overline{AD}$ (reflexive property)

6) $\therefore \triangle BAD \cong \triangle CAD$ (HA theorem)

7) $\angle BDA \cong \angle CDA$ (CPCTC)

8) $\therefore \vec{DA}$ bisects $\angle BDC$ (definition of bisector of an angle)
