Using linear function concepts, it is found that the slopes and intercepts of the functions are given as follows:
a) -4.
b) P = 25.
c) 2.
d) P = 5.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The demand is given by:
D = 100 - 4P.
Hence the slope is of -4. The demand is equals to zero when:
100 - 4P = 0 -> P = 25.
The supply is given by:
QS = -10 + 2P.
Hence the slope is of 2. The supply is equals to zero when:
-10 + 2P = 0 -> P = 5.

<span>The number of ways to permute three correct answers among five questions is 5Choose3 which is 5!/(3!*2!) which equals 10.
We must then have the correct answer three times which happens .25 of the time, and two wrong answers 75 of the time.
So the probability is 10*0.25^3*.75^2 which is 0.087890625 or roughly an 8.8% chance.</span>
So it would be 8/40. And in its simplest terms would be 1/5
2x+3 = 4x+7
-4 = 2x
x = -2
