ranks (& how to earn them):

-beginner (needs at least 0 points & 0 brainliest answers)

- hand (needs at least 100 points & 0 brainliest answers)

-ambitious   (needs at least 250 points & 0 brainliest answers)

-virtuoso (needs at least 500 points & 5 brainliest answers)

-expert   (needs at least 1,000 points & 10 brainliest answers)

-ace (needs at least 3,000 points & 15 brainliest answers)

-genius   (needs at least 15,000 points & 50 brainliest answers)

how to award brainliest:

you must wait until 2 people answer to award brainliest. i'm pretty sure that it should be next to the "" and "comments" buttons.  

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33

17,000 is the correct answer.
