The following graph contains four lines (A, B, C and D), each of which has a slope that is either positive, negative, zero, or infinite. Y-axisX-axisBDCA For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. 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. Positive As the temperature falls, the demand for popsicles falls. Negative True or False: Line B has a slope of infinity.…

1. Suppose that an equation for infant mortality is described by the function: - VD (P)1². where i is the infant mortality rate (expressed in per 1,000 children), Y is the gross domestic product (in US dollars), P is the population, and 3 and b are constants. a. Derive a linear (in parameters) equation from the function above with In i as the left Y -hand side variable and In y on the right-hand side. Note that y =, which is the P' GDP per capita. b. Identify the slope and intercept in the derived equation in (a). What could be the relationship between i and y? Provide an economic explanation. c. Derive a formula of the slope parameter in the linear equation in (a) for the interpretation of the changes in the variables. Interpret the resulting equation.
