Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the given line
we have
(-3,2) and (0,1)
The slope m is
step 2
Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line
Remember that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of its slopes is -1)
so
The slope is
step 3
Find the equation of the line in point slope form
we have
----> equation in point slope form
Convert to slope intercept form
We know that:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let us say x number of candies are made per week.
Finding Cost per week:
Cost of making 1 bar = 0.15
Cost of making x bars = 0.15x
Fixed rate of making candies per week = 600
Total cost of making x candies per week = 600 + 0.15x
Now let us find Revenue:
Selling price of each bar = 1.50
Selling price of x bars = 1.50x
Now we have to find profit,
Profit = Revenue - Cost
In order to have profit Revenue - Cost >0
So plugging values of revenue and cost to get number of candies,
x>444.44
Rounding off
x>444
Answer: The company must sell greater than 444 candies in order to make profit.
