Question

The profit, in dollars, of selling n items is given by P(n) = 0.86n - 2800. Identify the slope and the y-intercept.

Answer 1

Slope: 0.86 , Y-intercept:-2800

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations go by the form of y=mx + c

where m is the gradient(slope of the graph) and c is the y-intercept

Answer 2

Answer: 0.86 and -2800 (choice A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the given equation as y = 0.86x - 2800

Then compare it to y = mx + b

We see that m = 0.86 is the slope and b = -2800 is the y intercept.
