we know line P is y = 3x.

parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercept, where the graph touches the y-axis.  So then parallel lines is the same equation but shifted some either upwards or downwards or sideways.

so then line Q must be the same as P, y = 3x + "some change", well, we notice that the perpendicular distance from each other is 3 units, so then, the y-intercept of P is at (0, 0), thus the y-intercept of Q must be 3 units downwards, at (0, -3), since Q is shifted downwards, thus Q is y = 3x - 3.

What is variable cost ?

Variable costs are expenses that alter as the volume of a good or service a company produces fluctuates. Marginal costs multiplied by the number of units produced make up variable costs. They can be regarded as typical expenses as well. Total cost is divided into two parts: fixed costs and variable costs.

Workers paid = $100

Assuming $1600 is given as a Total cost for the 2000 quantity for chicken and Fixed cost is $800

Total cost = $1600 out of which $800 is the fixed cost

Variable cost =  Total cost - Fixed cost

                      = 1600 - 800

                      = 800

Numbers of workers hired = Variable cost / Workers pay

Numbers of workers hired = 800 / 100

Numbers of workers hired = 8

Therefore, the number of workers that Ralph hires is 8 workers
