Answer: m=-1.714

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

 m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714

Answer:

Manufacturers has to produce 63 DVD/Blu-Ray players to achieve a minimum cost of $644

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost equation is given as:

C=0.04x^2-5x+800

This is a quadratic equation in general form, which is:

y=ax^2+bx+c

Matching, we can say:

a = 0.04

b = -5

c = 800

The minimum occurs at  x=-\frac{b}{2a}

and the minimum value would be to place that "x" value into the equation.

First, we find the minimum using values of a and b:

x=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{-5}{2(0.04)}=\frac{5}{0.08}=62.5

Plugging this into original, we get:

C=0.04x^2-5x+800\\C=0.04(62.5)^2-5(62.5)+800\\C=643.75

Rounding off to nearest whole number, we can say:

Manufacturers has to produce 63 DVD/Blu-Ray players to achieve a minimum cost of $644
