an economist believes there is a linear relationship between the market price of a particular commodity and the number of units suppliers of the commodity are willing to bring to the marketplace. two sample observations indicate that when the price equals $15 per unit, the weekly supply equals 30000 units, and when the price equals $20 per units, the weekly supply equals 48000 units. 1) Predict the weekly supply if the market price equal $25 per unit.
