Question

The profit of lemonade stand can be found by the equation P = 0.5G - 4 , where G is the number of glasses sold and P is the profit in dollars . Which statement describes the meaning of the slope un this equation?

Answer 1

Option C is correct.

Profit increases by 0.5 dollars per glass sold.

Step-by-step explanation

The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as

y = mx + c

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

c = y-intercept of the line.

So, in P = 0.5G - 4,

Slope = 0.5dollars per glass sold.

Hope this Helps!!!
