Changing the equation into slope form: 
, where 
is the slope [gradient] and 
is the y-intercept.
The gradient is
and y-intercept is at 
Graphing using slope-intercept method:
a) The slope is a negative slope. The line will go 'down hill'
b) The line must pass the point (0, 490)
c) The line will intercept the x-axis at y = 0
So, x-intercept is at (735, 0)
The graph of this function is shown below. The intercepts are labelled at:
y = 490
x = 735

Next month's profit equation
Rewriting this into slope-equation form
The gradient,, equals to
The y-intercept,, equals to 531
The equation still has the same gradient with last month's profit equation but different y-intercept.

A linear graph show points of (0, 300) and (450, 0)
We work out the slope:
Y-intercept at x = 0, so it's at y = 300

The Shark's teeth has a base of 2 cm and height of 1 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Given,
the area of the shark's triangular teeth = 1 sq cm
Let b be the base and h be the height of the shark's triangular teeth.
We have the teeth's height is 1 cm short than the base
So h = b - 1
Step 2 :
Area of Triangle = () × b × h = 1
Substituting h = b -1
() × b × (b-1) = 1
=> b² - b = 2 = > b²-b-2 = 1
Solving for b we have
(b-2)(b+1) = 0
b = 2 or b = -1
Since b is the base , we take the positive value as length/distance cannot be negative.
So b = 2
h = b - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1
h = 1
Step 3 :
Answer :
The Shark's teeth has a base of 2 cm and height of 1 cm.
