Let's x is sales and y is income
The linear equation y=.06*x + 450 is used to determine Maggie's weekly income.
a)What does the rate of change represent in this problem? Interpret the answer in the context of the problem.
Rate of change is also called a slope in the linear equation
Here the rate of change is the coefficient of X in the equation = 0.06
Rate of change = 0.06
Interpretation:- As an amount of sale of maggies increase by one unit the expected weekly income from Magii is increased by 0.06 unit
b) determine the y-intercept and interpret the meaning in the context of the problem.
The Y-intercept is a constant term in a linear equation.
Here Y-intercept = 450
It is interpreted as when the amount of sale of Maggi is 0, then the expected weekly income is 450 units.
