Question

You spend $168 on materials to start a business making silk flower arrangements. Each arrangement sells for $12. You decide to create a linear graph to model the relationship between profit, P, and sales, x. Which statements are true about the graph?

Answer 1

B) The graph models P(x) = 12x − 168.

C) The x-axis represents the number of sales.

D) The break-even point for the number of sales and profit is (14, 0)

Explanation:

The x-axis represents the number of sales.

The graph models P(x) = 12x − 168

The break-even point for the number of sales and profit is (14, 0)

The x-axis represents independent values, such as the number of sales.

Profit = 12(#sales) − cost of materials → P(x) = 12x − 168

0 = 12x − 168 → x = 14 → (14, 0) is the break-even point.

Answer 2

B) The graph models P(x) = 12x − 168.

C) The x-axis represents the number of sales.

D) The break-even point for the number of sales and profit is (14, 0)
