Answer:

y = -1/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

The b is the y-intercept or the point where x is 0. According to the given graph, the y-intercept is (0, 3). So, b would equal 3

b = 3

Slope is simply rise over run, so for a simple line graph like this, we can count how many points the line goes up, or down, and right, or left, to reach the next point. According to the given graph, the slope is -2/4 or -1/2.

m = -1/2

plug these into the slope-intercept equation to find the answer

y = -1/2x + 3

Answer:

A) (17 ; 550)

B) $17/item

C) 550

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must calculate the intersection point of the two lines. Since in that point y has the same value in both equations, we can obtain x by equalling the two equations and then using that value for obtaining y:

$5x+465=-6x+652\\5x+6x=652-465\\11x=187\\x=\frac{187}{11}\\x=17$

So the value of x in the intersection point is 17. We now use this value with either one of the equations to obtain y. Let's use the supply equation:

$y=5*17+465\\y=550$

So the intersection point is (17 ; 550)

Supply and demand are in equilibrium when the amount of items on supply are the same as the ones on demand. That is the point were the two lines intersect, which means the selling price is the x coordinate and the amount of items is the y coordinate, so that is a selling price of $17/item with a number of items of 550.

So, 3/10 = 100/x $\frac{3}{10}= \frac{100}{x} 3x=100(10) 3x=1000 1000/3 = 333.33=x$
