An employee compiled sales data for a company once each month. The scatter plot below shows the sales (in multiples of $1000) for the company over time (in months). The equation represents the linear model for this data.

y = 0.94x + 12.5

According to the model, what will the company's sales be after 40 months?

Respuesta :

sales aer in multipules of 1000
normally the output is y and input is x

input would be number of months
output would be the sales

so

subsitute 40 for x

y=0.94*(40)+12.5
y=37.6+12.5
y=50.1
this is in thousands
times 1000

$50,100 is the sales after 40 months

Answer:y = 50,100 to get it right not 50.1
