First, we need to find the equation for Leon's profit
Using the table given
x₁ = 10 y₁ = 36
x₂= 12 y₂= 48
slope (m) = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
= 48 - 36 /12-10
= 12/ 2
= 6
Substitute x = 10, y = 36 m = 6 into y=mx+ b and solve for b
36 = 6(10) + b
36 = 60 + b
subtract 60 from both-side of the equation
36 - 60 = b
-24 = b
To form the new equation
substitute m = 6 and b = -24 into y=mx + b
y = 6x - 24
comparing the two equations, the correct option is c
