The answer is 7.33. The three keeps repeating, but I shortened it.
In point-slope form, the equation of the line is
.. y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . for slope m and point (h, k)
You have m = -7/2 and (h, k) = (8, -28), so the point-slope equation is
.. y -(-28) = (-7/2)*(x -8)
.. y +28 = (-7/2)x +28 . . . . simplify
.. y = (-7/2)x . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 28
To put this into standard form, we can multiply by 2, then add 7x.
.. 2y = -7x
.. 7x +2y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . the standard form equation you want
Answer:
The exact cost of producing the 21st food processor is $38.52.
The marginal cost to approximate the cost of producing the 21st food processor is $38.24
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided function.

(A) Find the exact cost of producing the 21st food processor
The exact cost producing 21st food processor is C(21)-C(20)
Substitute x=21 in above function.



Substitute x=20 in above function.



The exact cost producing is:

Hence, the exact cost of producing the 21st food processor is $38.52.
Part (B) Use the marginal cost to approximate the cost of producing the 21st food processor,
To find the marginal cost first differentiate the function with respect to x.


Now substitute x=21 in above function.


The marginal cost to approximate the cost of producing the 21st food processor is $38.24
Answer: Graph D (bottom right corner)
======================================================
Explanation:
The equation y = 3x+3 is in slope intercept form y = mx+b
m = 3 = slope
b = 3 = y intercept
In this case, both the slope and y intercept are the same (though in general they tend not to be).
The positive slope value means the line goes uphill as you move from left to right. The positive y intercept means the diagonal line crosses the y axis somewhere above the horizontal x axis. Specifically, it crosses the y axis at y = 3
Graph D is the only graph that has such a line on it. Graphs A, B and C have the positive slope line where they have a negative y intercept, so we can rule them out.
You can use graphing tools such as Desmos or Geogebra to help confirm this answer. You could also make a table of values, and plot each point, to form the lines. Two points is the minimum amount needed to form any line.
