Answer:

Slope 'm' = $\frac{5}{2}$

And y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation,

y = mx + b --------(1)

Here, m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Given equation is,

5x - 2y = -4

2y = 5x + 4

y = $\frac{5}{2}x+2$

By comparing this equation with equation (1),

Slope 'm' = $\frac{5}{2}$

And y-intercept = 2

The graph that represents possible functions is shown in the diagram below. Point C shows the point on y-axis where f(x) and g(x) crosses. The result should be interpreted by the level of steepness of each slope

g(x) has a steeper gradient than f(x) and this indicates steeper fee rise for producing the T-shirt. So if Marissa is to choose the better value for her money to produce T-shirt, she should choose the function f(x) providing there are no other factors to consider other than prices.
