Answer:

b. $1 in price is associated with a decrease of $8,000 in sales

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

A linear function has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope, which represents by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

ŷ = 50,000 − 8x

This means that m = -8, in thousands of dollars, so when the price x increases by 1, the sales will be decrease by $8,000, and thus, the correct answer is given by option b.

postnew [5]
You would answer this question using simultaneous equations, so if m is movies and v is video games, then:
9m + 7v = 65
3m + 5v = 37

9m + 7v = 65
9m + 15v = 111
(minus)
-8v = -46
÷ -8
v = $5.75
Then you can substitute​ the value of V in to find the value of m, so:
3m + (5 × 5.75) = 37
3m + 28.75 = 37
- 28.75
3m = 8.25
÷ 3
m = 2.75
So you get the answers as Video Games are $5.75 each and Movies are $2.75 each, I hope this helps!
