A) The chamber of commerce for a summer resort is trying to determine how many tourists will be visiting each season over the coming years. A marketing research firm has estimated that the number of tourists can be predicted by the linear equation: P(x)= 278000 + 7550x

Complete question :

The chamber of commerce for a summer resort is trying to determine how many tourists will be visiting each season over the coming years. A marketing research firm has estimated that the number of tourists can be predicted by the linear equation: P(x)= 278000 + 7550x

where p = number of tourists per year and t = years (measures from this current season). Thus t=0 identifies the current season, t=1 is the next season, etc. If p is plotted on the vertical axis:

(a) Graph the equation.

(b) Identify the slope and y intercept (p intercept, here).

(c) Interpret the meaning of the slope and p intercept in this application.

B.) 7550 ; 278000

C.) kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation given,

At x = 0 ; p(x) = 278000

-- x = 1 p(x) = 278000 + 7550 = 285550

B.) general form of a linear equation :

y = mx + c

Equation given :

P(x)= 278000 + 7550x

Slope (m) = 7550

Intercept ; p intercept = 278000

C.) the slope means ; the number of tourist visutun each season increases at the rate of 7550 per year

The intercept, means the initial number of tourist at the time t = 0 = 278000

p> q if you calculate p is100 q is 79

your answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

4*4*4*4=256
