Question

A computer manufacturer built a new facility for assembling computers. There were construction and new equipment costs. The company paid for these costs and made combined profits of $40 million after 4 years, while profits increased $30 million per year. Select the correct graph for this function.

There is a graph of a line that has a y intercept that is approximately $80 million and passes through the point of approximately x = 2 years and y = $140 million.

There is a graph of a line that has a y intercept that is approximately negative $80 million and an x intercept that is approximately 2.7 years.

Answer 1

There is a graph of a line that has a y-intercept that is approximately negative $80 million and an x-intercept that is approximately 2.7 years.

Explanation:

hope this helps

Answer 2

we're given a point (4, 40) and slope = 30.
We write the equation and find x,y-intercepts.

y=30x+b
40=30*4+b
40=120+b
-80=b

y=30x-80
80=30x
2.7=x

The answer is: There is a graph of a line that has a y intercept that is approximately negative $80 million and an x intercept that is approximately 2.7 years.
