Question

Keenan buys an embroidery machine for $1,400. He uses it to embroider T-shirts. His total profit in dollars from selling the T-shirts is represented with the function f(x) = 12x − 1,400. When the machine breaks, he pays $135 to have it fixed. How does that cost affect a graph of Keenan’s profit function?
A. The graph is translated up 135 units.
B. The graph is translated down 135 units.
C. The graph is translated left 135 units.
D. The graph is translated right 135 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

the graph shift down 135 units

Step-by-step explanation:

when there is no fixing cost:

f(x)=12x-1400

when there is fixing cost (0ne time): 12x-(1400+135)

the graph shift down 135 units
