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.
