Question

The Flip-Flop-Alot Company makes and sells flip-flops. They have one linear function that represents the cost of producing flip-flops and another linear function that models how much income they get from those flip-flops. Describe the key features that would determine if these linear functions ever intercepted.

Answer 1

If we let the number of flip-flops be x in the equation and that the cost would be y ( in terms of x) and the income would be z ( in terms of x), these equations will likely intersect each other during breakeven. That is, when the total revenue that the company will gain from sales of the flip-flops just be equal with the total cost.
