Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x – 5y = -20

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x – 5y = -4x-20

-5y = -4x-20

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = -4x/-5 -20/-5

y = 4/5 x +4

The slope is 4/5 and the y intercept is 4

Answer: 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, solve for y

4x - 5y = -20

-5y = -4x - 20

y = $\frac{4x}{5} +4$

The slope is the coefficient of x which is $\frac{4}{5}$

Answer:

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost of a given task, therefore:

$\text{profit} = R - C\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - (40*x + 640)\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - 40*x - 640\\\text{profit} = - 0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640$

To have a profit of 200, we need to sell:

$-0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640 = 200\\-0.2*x^2 + 26*x -840 = 0\text{ } *\frac{-1}{0.2}\\x^2 -130 + -4200 = 0\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-(-130) \pm \sqrt{(-130)^2 - 4*1*(-4200)}}{2*1}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{16900 + 16800}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{100}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm 10}{2}\\x_{1} = \frac{130 + 10}{2} = \frac{140}{2} = 70\\ x_{2} = \frac{130 - 10}{2} = \frac{120}{2} = 60$

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.
