Hello there!

The first thing you must do is to find the slope of the line. To do this, find the negative reciprocal of your current equation. Since your current slope is 3, the negative reciprocal of that would be -1/3, which would be your slope.

Now that you have your slope, plug it into the slope intercept equation as well as your known points:
(1,8) m(slope)=-1/3
8=1(-1/3)+b

Now, solve for b:
8=1(-1/3)+b
8=-1/3+b
b=25/3

Now that you have the slope and the b value, you can conclude that your equation would be:
y=-1/3x+25/3

Answer:

Gross profit formula= 3x

x= number of units sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable cost= $2

Selling price per unit= $5

To calculate the profit earned, we need to use the unitary contribution margin formula. The contribution margin is a product's price minus all associated variable costs (sales- variable costs), resulting in the incremental profit earned for each unit sold.

Unitary contribution margin= 5 - 2 = 3

Now, the profit formula:

Gross profit formula= number of units*unitary contribution margin

Gross profit formula= 3x

x= number of units sold

Point C does not lie on line xy. Can point C lie in the same plane as live xy? Explain

uysha [10]

The answer is yes.

A line and a point outside the line define a unique plane. In other words, there is a single plane that contains a line and a point outside the line. If you are given line XY and point C outside the line, there is a single plane containing both line XY and point C. Therefore, line XY and point C must lie in the same plane.

Find the measure of angle2 A. 90 B. 50 C. 60 D. 30

galina1969 [7]

I think it is C. 60.
You can eliminate A because it is not a right angle, and D because the angle is bigger than the given angle. So it is between 50 and 60, and I hope this is right and the picture makes sense
