4) Answer the questions below using the following equation: Y = 60 - 5X + 15Z - 10S.

a. Assuming Y is on the vertical axis and X is on the horizontal axis, draw the relationship between these two variables using the following values for the other variables: Z = 5 and S 6.

b. What are the values of the intercepts for the horizontal and vertical axis? Show these values on the graph.

c. What is the slope of this equation? Carefully interpret this number. Use an "if..." statement in your interpretation.

d. Suppose that the value of Z changes from 5 to 8, show on the graph from part a) the effect of this change. Carefully label the curves.

e. Is the slope of the new curve different from the slope of the original curve? Carefully explain your answer.

f. Is the new value of the intercept for the vertical axis different from that of the original curve? Carefully explain your answer.

g. Is the new value of the intercept for the horizontal axis different from that of the original curve? Carefully explain your answer.

h. Does the change in the value of the Z variable result in a movement along the curve or a shift? Why?
