A manufacturer of motorcycles has determined that 59,000 motorcycles per month can be sold at a price of $9000. At a price of $8750 the number of motorcycles per month increase to 63,750 determine a linear function?

Here is my answer:

The two points are: (9000, 59000) and (8750, 63750)

We can find the slope at the line: m =
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

m =
`(63750 - 59000)/(8750-9000)` = -19

So the linear function that model this situation is:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

<=> y - 59000 = -19(x - 9000)

<=> y = -19x + 230000
