please provide the answer for the additional question

Official Explanation

If the point representing production of ____________ chips were eliminated, the average rate of change would be closer to the slope of the trend line.

Explanation

To bring the average rate of change closer to the slope of the trend line, the rate of decline must be flattened. Removing points from the high end of the production scale will result in a line that has almost the same vertical drop over a shorter horizontal distance, making the slope steeper. Removing midrange points will have no effect, but removing the first point drops one end of the dotted line, flattening its slope.

Answer: A

thank you :)

Official Explanation

If chip production were increased from 100,000 to 200,000, the cost per chip would decrease by approximately ____________.

(A) $1
(B) $2
(C) $5
(D) $10
(E) $40


Explanation

When production is approximately 100,000, the cost per chip is approximately $45. When production increases to 200,000, the cost per chip decreases to about $35, for a decrease of approximately $10 per chip.

Answer: D

The average rate of change in the cost per chip, as represented by the slope of the dotted line, is approximately ____________ dollars per thousand chips produced.

(A) –115
(B) –6
(C) –0.6
(D) 0.6
(E) 6


Explanation

The change in the cost per chip is approximately $32 – $147 = –$115. The change in production is approximately 200,000 – 10,000 = 190,000. The average rate of change is –$115/190 ≈ –$0.60 per thousand chips produced.

Answer: C
