Answer:
p=(-0.0125n) + 42.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p= price
n = number of shirts
m = slope of the line (note, the more shirts, the lower the price, so we know it's going to be negative)
b = y intercept
There are two points which are (1000, $30) and (3000, $5)
Our slope m = (p1-p2)/(n1-n2)
Filling in from our points m = (30-5)/(1000-3000)
m = 25/-2000
m = -0.0125
Since we have determined our slope, we can now find our equation
p-p1=m(n-n1)
p-30=(-0.0125)(n-1000)
p-30= (-0.0125n) + 12.5
p=(-0.0125n) + 42.5
Then, we can double check with the other point there:
p=(-0.0125n) + 42.5
5? (-0.0125x 3000) + 42.5
5= 5
Therefore,linear equation in the form p(n) is
p=(-0.0125n) + 42.5
142/65 or in decimal form : 2.18461538… hope this helps!!!
