Select one:
O a. the value that y_i takes on when x_i equals 0.
O b. the effect that a one-unit change in the dependent variable is expected to have on the independent variable, holding all else constant.
O c. the value of y_i when the slope is multiplied a specific x_i and then that value is added to the intercept.

Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “ ice-cream" and Y-axis should be labeled "The temperature". Scenario Relationship Line As the temperature rises, the demand for ice-cream rises. Negative As the temperature rises, the demand for hot cocoa falls.
