Answer:

For linear equations we use:

p=mx+b   ------  (1)

Now we have the following coordinates:

(x1,p1)= (1000,280) and (x2, p2)=(5000,400)

First we need slope (m)

m= (400-280)/(5000-1000)

= 120/4000=0.03

Now we will plug the value of m in the first equation

280=0.03(1000)+b

=> 280=30+b

=> b = 250

Now plug into p=mx+b using only m=0.03 and b=250

p=0.03x+250

When the unit price is $440, we can plug in 440 in for p;

440=0.03x+250

=> 0.03x=440-250

=> 0.03x=190

=> x = 6333 refrigerators

The lowest price at which  a refrigerator will be marketed, we can find this by plugging x = 0 in p=mx+b.

p=0.03(0)+250

=> p = $250
