Answer:
A - There is a correlation between the number of employees in the plant and the number of products produced monthly. You can see that on the table, the number of products is increasing by 80 for every 10 employees added.
B. f(x) = 8x (rate changing) + 120 (starting number)
C - The slope indicates the number of products increasing each time, which is 80 but since the rule is y/x it becomes 8. The y-intercept is the starting amount of products, which is 120.
Explanation:
Find out the rate of change on both sides (x and y). On X, the change is 10. For Y, the change is 80. To find out the slope, we must do Y/X which is 80/10 and that leaves us with 8.
