Question

a computer manufacturer built a new facility for assembling computers There where construction and new equipment cost The company paid For thesecost The company pay for these cost a made combined profits of 40 million dollars after 4 years as shown in the graph

Answer 1

Given data:

The company cost after 2.5 year is C=$0.

The company cost after 4 year is C'=$40 million.

The expression for the equation of the line is,

y-C=(x-2.5)(C'-C)/(4-2.5)

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

y-0=(x-2.5)(40-0)/(1.5)

3y=80x-200

y=80x/3-200/3

Thus, the function of the line is f(x)=80x/3-200/3.
