Marketing surveys conducted by the sales manager for a company determined that 3,000 power drills could be sold for $60 each, but 4,000 drills could be sold for $50 each. (a) If the two data points were plotted on a coordinate system with the number of drills sold on the horizontal axis and the price of each drill on the vertical axis, what is the slope of the line between the two points?

Ypsilanti Market Research conducted a survey to find out whether people who earn more money purchase more expensive goods. The following graph indicates the relationship between income the survey subjects earned and the price of the car that they purchased. The variable shown on the vertical axis is __________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are _________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car. For example, if an individual earned $50,000 last year and purchased a new car, you would expect that person to…

Please review the question below and explain all steps clearly and thoroughly (please use neat handwriting if handwritten), and use a graph utility to plot the function and illustrate the discussion, thank you very much!
This is all the given information to solve this question. The graphs do not have to have any specific numerical values, just the trends and curves that need to represent the situation that is introduced in this question. I was told to "include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answer. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes." (so no numerical values are really needed)

Suppose that in the country of Sudland, when the yearly rate of economic growth fell from 3.0% to 1.5%, the yearly rate of increase in airborne pollutants fell from 6% to 5%. What is the average slope of a nonlinear curve between these points using the arc method? The average slope is
Oregon Fiber Board makes roof liners for the automotiveindustry. The manufacturing manager is concerned aboutproduct quality. She suspects that one particular failure, tears in the fabric, is related to production-run size. An assistantgathers the following data from production records: a. Draw a scatter diagram for these data.b. Does there appear to be a relationship between run sizeand percent failures? What implications does this datahave for Oregon Fiber Board’s business?
Please give a detailed solution with an explanation. For the graph make sure it is readable, visible, and make sure you clearly label the x and y coordinates and the graph movement (if applicable).
I have completed the two supply and demand shifts on the graphs shown in the screenshots. However, I wasn't sure if I made those adjustments correctly. Could you please confirm my accuracy with those charts and explain why they are or are not correct? Additionally, I am having trouble understanding how to solve the multiple choice question at the bottom of the second screenshot. Could you please help me understand why the correct answer is what it is for this question? Thanks!

A sailing regatta hosted by Royal Yacht Club initially had 40 participants sign up which generated $350 for the yacht club. Another 70 participants (now a total of 110) signed up before the deadline which generated a grand total of $1750 for the yacht club. Write a graph linear equation to model the money earned in terms of the number of participants in the regatta.
Read the following scenario carefully and then answer the following questions and perform the graphical tasks below: A firestorm of controversy erupted recently on social media outlets and the national press as three teens died attempting to complete the Monster Challenge, which involves recording a person's mass consumption of energy drinks in a very small window of time. Five others were rushed to the hospital. Deeper investigation by media outlets has shed light on the disturbing number of Americans who are hopelessly addicted to energy drinks. Lawmakers, including Senator Miller (D-CA), have called for an aggressive tax on energy drinks to stop this scourge that is ravaging the community. The Miller Bill would place a two dollar tax on energy drink tall cans (that on average cost $2.50) in all American markets. Other members of Congress led by Senator Cruz (R-TX), however, believed that tax to be too high, so the Miller Bill was amended to decrease the size of the tax to just…
