Members of the student concil are conducting a fundraiser by selling school calendars. After selling 80 calendars, they had a lo

ss of $360. After selling 200 calendars, they had a profit of $600. Write an equation that describes the relation between y, the profit of loss, and x, the number of calendars sold.

Answer:

a)  y=8x-1000

b) profit=\$8

c) They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case we know that "y" represents the profit of loss and "x" the number of calendars sold.

Then, according to the exercise, the line passes through these two points:

(80,-360) and (200,600)

Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-360-600}{80-200}=8

Now, we can substitute the slope and one of those points into y=mx+b and solve for "b":

600=8(200)+b\\\\b=-1000

Then, subtituting values, we get that the equation that describes the relation between the profit of loss and the number of calendars sold, is:

y=8x-1000

b) The slope of the line is the profit they made from selling each calendar

profit=8

c) The y-intercept is the amount they would have lost if they had sold no calendars:

b=-1000

They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.
