Question

The graph models the number of active projects a company was working on $x$ months after the end of November $2012$ , where $0 \leq x \leq 6$ . According to the model, what is the predicted number of active projects the company was working on at the end of November $2012$ ?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. It's given that the graph models the number of active projects a company was working on x months after the end of November 2012 . Therefore, the value of x that corresponds to the end of November 2012 is 0 . The point at which x = 0 is the y -intercept of the graph. It follows that the y -intercept of the graph shown is the point 0 , 5 . Therefore, according to the model, the predicted number of active projects the company was working on at the end of November 2012 is 5 . Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of x that corresponds to the end of November 2012 , not the predicted number of active projects the company was working on at the end of November 2012 . Choice C is incorrect. This is the predicted number of active projects the company was working on 2 months after the end of November 2012 . Choice D is incorrect. This is the predicted number of active projects the company was working on 4 months after the end of November 2012 .
