It's saying one company had a profit of ~ $8M and another had a profit of ~ $8.5M+. Which company had the greater profit?
The answer is the one with the bigger number; Coyle Company
we can always find the x-intercept by simply settting y = 0, and solving for "x".
and we can always find the y-intercept by simply setting x = 0 and solving for "y".

He had to put $65 bc. he had to balance his account then added $25
Slope is the change in y/ change in x so the equation will be:
-2= (1-y)/(-6-(-5)) -> simplify -> -2= 1-y/-1 -> multiply both sides by -1 -> 2=1-y -> simplify and -y= 1 -> y=-1
Answer:
Solve the 1st equation for y and then you substitute the answer of the y value to the other equation to get the x value
