Question

On average, Matt's Manufacturing Company produces 130 units in five working days and 650 units in twenty-five working days.

In a linear model of this situation, which of the following statements applies?

A) An additional day of production is associated with an additional 104 units.

B) An additional day of production is associated with an additional 7.8 units.

C) An additional day of production is associated with an additional 26 units.

D) An additional day of production is associated with an additional 39 units.

Answer 1

the question is asking you to calculate the slope of the line....

the slope represents the change per day

so the points are (5, 130) and (25, 650)

then \[m = \frac{650 - 130}{35 - 5}\]

calculate the slope for the correct answer
