y=-2/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scattered plot, it is evident that the line of best fit will have a negative slope from the way the plots are aligned.

Selecting the line of best fit that will cut the y axis at +5, the points can be estimated as;

(5,1.5) and (3.5,2.5)

The slope can be found as;

m=Δy/Δx

m=2.5-1.5/3.5-5 =1.0/ -1.5 = -0.67

Finding the equation as;

m=Δy/Δx

-0.66 = y-2.5/x-3.5

-0.66(x-3.5) = y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3=y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3+2.5=y

-0.66x+4.7=y

⇒⇒  y= -0.66 x + 4.7

⇒⇒y= -2/3 x + 5

Answer:

p(x) = f(x) - g(x) = -0.04x² + 20.96x - 71

Explanation:

The sales are given by f(x) = 24.96x and the cost are represented by g(x) = 0.04x² + 4x + 71.

Then, the profit is equal to

p(x) = f(x) - g(x)

p(x) = 24.96x - (0.04x² + 4x + 71)

p(x) = 24.96x - 0.04x² - 4x - 71

p(x) = -0.04x² + 20.96x - 71

Therefore, the answer is

p(x) = f(x) - g(x) = -0.04x² + 20.96x - 71
