9514 1404 393
Answer:
see attached for the drawing
slope = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
For the rise of -1 and the run of 2, the slope is ...
m = rise/run = -1/2 . . . . slope in simplest form

It usually works best if you can identify points on the graph where the line crosses grid intersections. Then the number of squares in each direction can be counted easily. If you work with two grid intersections that are closest together, then the ratio of rise to run will already be in reduced form.
On this graph, there are other grid crossing points that are 4, 6, 8 units to the right or left of the one where we started. You need to remember that "run" is positive in the "right" direction, and "rise" is positive in the "up" direction.
We have shown the "rise" and "run" lines above the graphed line. They can also be shown below the graphed line.
Here, the grid squares are 1 unit in each direction. You need to pay attention to the scale, because some graphs have different numbering vertically than horizontally. The values for "rise" and "run" need to be figured using the appropriate scale.
a. Write the cost function:: C(x) = 100x + 100,000 where x is number of guitars
---------------------------------
b. Write the revenue function:: R(x) = 300x where x is number of guitars
-----------------------
c. Find the profit function.
Profit = Revenue - Cost
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = [ R(x) ] - [ C(x) ]
P(x) = [ 300x ] - [ 100x+100,000 ]
P(x) = 300x - 100x-100,000
P(x) = 200x - 100,000
The break even point is when the profit is 0 dollars. You don't lose any money. And you don't gain any money.
Solve 125x - 100,000 = 0
125x = 100,000
x = 800 (# of guitars made and sold)
