Your total profit is $13,000. First you bought the 200 items for $20 each. That costs $4,000. Then you sold $50 of the items at $100 each. That’s $5,000. So already you’re in the green. You’ve already made $1,000 profit. Then you sold the rest of the items at a 20% discount. 150 items multiplied by $80 is $12,000. $12,000 plus the $1,000 equals $13,000 total.

Y=1/3x+c as 1/3 is the gradient/slope
Plug in the coordinates into the equation
-2= 1/3*(1) +c
C=-2-1/3
C=-7/3
Y= 1/3x-7/3
