Question

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A company produces accessories for smart phones and tablets. The profit on each smart phone case is $2 and the profit on each tablet case is $3. The company made a profit of $1,200 on the cases last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,200 represents the company's profit from cases last month, where x is the number of smart phone cases sold and y is the number of tablet cases sold.

2.Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write in complete sentences.

Answer 1

2x + 3y = 1200
3y = -2x + 1200
y = -2/3x + 400......slope = -2/3....y int = (0,400)...x int = (600,0)

start at (0,400)...and since ur slope is -2/3, go down 2 spaces, and to the right 3 spaces...plot this point...then go down 2, and to the right 3...plot this point....keep doing this and u should cross the x axis at (600,0).
