C. The positive Correlation between the sales of cell phones and the sales of televisions in a store.

D. The positive Correlation between the number of shopping carts at a store and the number of cash registers in the store.

C and B

Step-by-step explanation:

in x=5.9x-19.5 the y int is -19.5 (y=mx+b m = slope b =y int)

According to the information they earn 5.9 of something "every payday" and the y int is them starting out. The only logical answer is C for the first question because every other answer involves slope and not starting value.

For the second one it is B i think since causation means cause to effect or ratio. They are the only values that make since because they are related to eachother.

Sorry for the bad spelling if you need any more information please ask in comments :)

B/ typing classes answer- just took the k12 test

Step-by-step explanation:

whats the question?

step-by-step explanation:

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
