Post one question at a time.
The amount of revenue made in Company XYZ is predicted to make follows the mathematical model y = 20.5x-5000, where y is the amount of revenue, and x is the number of employees.
I will solve part (a) only.
(a) How much revenue is estimated if there are 200 employees in the Company?
Replace x with 200 and solve for y.
y = 20.5(200)- 5000
y = 4100 - 5000
y = -900
