Answer 2

If Jada sells 60 kilograms of paprika, her profit would be $200.

Explanation:

Note: The missing graph is attached below.

From the graph,

Taking two points

• (35, 0)

• (60, 200)

`\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\:\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(35,\:0\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(60,\:200\right)`

`m=(200-0)/(60-35)`

`m=8`

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is

`y=mx+b`

Putting (60, 200) and m = 8 in the slope-intercept form

`200=\left(60\right)\left(8\right)+b`

`\left(60\right)\left(8\right)+b=200`

`480+b=200`

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}480\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`480+b-480=200-480`

`b=-280`

Thus

`y=mx+b`

`y=8x+\left(-280\right)`

`y=8x-280`

Putting x = 60

`y=8\left(60\right)-280`

`y=200`

Therefore, if Jada sells 60 kilograms of paprika, her profit would be $200.
