(Table) Using the information in the table, the equation that represents the relationship between temperature (T) on the horizontal axis and hot chocolate (C) sales on the vertical axis would be: $$\begin{array} { | c | c | }
\hline \text { Temperature } & \text { Hot Chocolate Sales } \
\hline 25 & 100 \
\hline 30 & 90 \
\hline 35 & 80 \
\hline 40 & 70 \
\hline 45 & 60 \
\hline 50 & 50 \
\hline 55 & 40 \
\hline
\end{array}$$
A) C = 150 - 2T
B) C = 50 - 1/2T
C) T = 75 - 2C
D) T = 25 - 1/2C

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relationship between temperature and hot chocolate sales is linear, with sales decreasing by 10 units for every 5-degree increase in temperature. This corresponds to a slope of -2, and the equation C = 150 - 2T fits the data points provided.
