A group of vendors in a city determines that the equation yˆ=11.984x+15.341 models the total number of shorts they will sell each day, where x is the day’s high temperature in °F. What does the slope of the equation represent in context of the situation?

The vendors will sell an additional 12 pairs of shorts for every 1° increase in temperature.

The vendors will sell an additional pairs of shorts for every 15° increase in temperature.

The vendors will sell an additional pairs of shorts for every 12° increase in temperature.

The vendors will sell an additional 15 pairs of shorts for every 1° increase in temperature.

i can answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
