One can also solve this by calculation:
y=2x-9
y=-2x-1
-
Rearrange either equation to find x. I'll use the first:
y=2x-9
2x = y+9
x = (y+9)/2
Now use this value of x in the second equation:
y = -2x-1
y =-2((y+9)/2)-1
y = (-2y-18)/2)-1
y = -y -9 - 1
2y = -10
y = -5
Now use -5 for y in the rearranged equation:
y = -2x-1
-5 = -2x-1
-2x = -4
x = 2
Solution is (2,-5)
But the question wants a graph solution, which is also fun when you use DESMOS.
It is convenient to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do the math for this. Functions can be defined for cost and profit, and evaluated at each of the volumes of interest.
a1) For 200 cars, the Outside location yields the greatest profit
a2) For 300 cars, the City location yields the greatest profit
b) The sites yield the same profit for a volume of 278 cars.
