Question #5

● Below is the graph that represents the total profits for a third month. ( I POSTED IT LOOK AT IT BELOW) Write the equation of the line that represents the graph. Show your work.

What is the y intercept? ( 0 , ____)


What is the x intercept? ( ____, 0 )


What is the SLOPE?


Calculate the slope algebraically HERE:

Answer 1

The y-intercept is (0,600), the x-intercept is (900,0)

Explanation:

The y-intercept is where point at which the graph crosses the y-axis.

The x-intercept is the point or points at which the graph crosses the x-axis.

To find the slope of the line between two points you compute the difference in the y-coordinates and divide that by the difference in the x-coordinates.

Here we have (0 - 600)/(900 - 0) = -600/900 = -6/9 = -2/3

A negative slope means the line falls as it goes from left to right.

A positive slope means the line rises as it goes from left to right.
