How does `Y` change as `X` increases?

How does the cost of producing plural_form(UNIT) change as the number of plural_form(UNIT) increases?

Increases

- Increases
- Decreases
- Stays the same

style({ fill: "", stroke: BLACK }); line( [ 4, 4 * M + B ], [ 7, 4 * M + B ] ); style({ stroke: GREEN }); line( [ 7, 4 * M + B ], [ 7, 7 * M + B ] );

Looking at the graph, we see that as `x` increases (`\text{BLACK_ARROW}`), `y` also increases (`\green{\text{GREEN_ARROW}}`).

We can say that the slope of the line is positive, or that the variables have a direct relationship.

Thus, as `X` increases, `Y` also increases.

Thus, as the number of plural_form(UNIT) increases, the price of plural_form(UNIT) also increases.

Looking at the graph, we see that as `x` increases (`\text{BLACK_ARROW}`), `y` decreases (`\red{\text{RED_ARROW}}`).

We can say that the slope of the line is negative, or that the variables have an inverse relationship.

Thus, as `X` increases, `Y` decreases.

Thus, as the number of plural_form(UNIT) increases, the price of plural_form(UNIT) decreases.

Stays the same

Looking at the graph, we see that as `x` increases, there is no change in `y`.

We can say that the slope of the line is zero, or that the variables have no correlation.

Thus, as `X` increases, `Y` stays the same.

Thus, as the number of plural_form(UNIT) increases, the price of plural_form(UNIT) stays the same.
