The scatterplot and trend line show a positive correlation between advertising costs and sales.
The slope was found using the points (6.4, 117) and (6.6, 120). What is the value of b in the equation of the trend line?
y = 15x + b

120=15×6.6+b
You can calculate b from here
So b=120-99=21
OpenStudy (winsteria):
Yes

Thank you

Don't mention it

Could you help with this part of the question? I think that It goes with this one but I'm not sure.

Given the equation of a trend line, can you find the exact amount of sales given the advertising cost?
OpenStudy (winsteria):
@Pawanyadav
OpenStudy (pawanyadav):
I can't understand what are you asking exactly
You got the equation. y=15x+21
What after that?
OpenStudy (pawanyadav):
Just put y=1000 and find x
OpenStudy (winsteria):
How do I do that?

What is the first equation
OpenStudy (winsteria):
y=15x+21
OpenStudy (winsteria):
y = 15x + b
OpenStudy (pawanyadav):
Is this question based on this equation
If yes than
Advertising cost is represented by x or y
If it is x put x=1000 in the equation
If it is y then put y=1000 in the equation and find the remaining one
OpenStudy (winsteria):
It Is

Oh x is representing adv. cost and its
1000
So y=15000+21=15021
