Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the break even point is the point where the cost and the revenue equations intersect. So the break even point in this situation is:
C= R
<=> 20/3x+50 = 10x (with x > 0 and x is a whole number)
<=> -50x -20 = 0
<=> x ≈ 5
If the company sells more than 5 items, it will have benefit
If the company sells less than 5 items, it will lose
comparing the relation given
thus y= -2x +1 to the general equation of a line
where y= mx + c
where m is the gradient and c is the intercept on the y-axis.
from the question, the gradient is -2 and since the line is perpendicular, the gradient is given as
so substituting the value of m in to the equation
=
as the gradient
equation of line is given by
y - y1 = m( x-x1)
from the question y1= -2 and x1=1
substitute them
y-(-2) = 1/2 (x -1)
y+2 =1/2 (x-1)
multiplying through by 2
2 (y+2) = x-1
2y +4 = x-1
2y =x-1-4
2y =x-5
x -2y -5 = 0
therefore the equation for the line is x-2y -5=0
