The scatter plot shows the number of pages scanned (y) in different number of hours (x) by a scanning machine:

anonymous · Answer

Which function best represents the data shown in the scatter plot?
y = 100 + 1,000x
y = 100 - 1,000x
y = 500 - 1,000x
y = 500 + 1,000x

anonymous · Answer

How are you doing this evening The Helper?

anonymous · Answer

y=500 + 1,000x

anonymous · Answer

can you explain how? Or is it too complicated to explain?

anonymous · Answer

I will give you a medal when I see if the answer was right or not.

we can find the slope by y/x
so we choose any point of the graph... lets choose 2 points...1st point (1, 1000) and 2nd point(2, 2000)
so slope = y/x (1st point) 1000/1=1000
                       (2nd point) 2000/2=1000
so the slope is 1000

lynfran · Answer

and yes it is a positive slope so...

Oh. Why thank you. Now I feel bad...  not sure who to give the medal too.
