It would be 10 the slope is always with the x
Combine the two equations so that it’s 2x+5=4x-1 and then subtract 2x from both sides. now it’s 5=4x-1 and add 1 to both sides. now is 6=4x 6 divided by 4 is 1.5 so that is the x value. now sub 1.5 as the x value into the first equation so it’s y=2(1.5)+5. you do the math and it’s y=8 (because 1.5 times 2 is 3 and 3+5 is 8) then your point is (1.5,8)
PART A:
The generic equation of the line is:
y-yo = m (x-xo)
First we look for the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = ((5000) - (6000)) / (4-3)
m = -1000
Then, we substitute any point in the generic equation:
(xo, yo) = (4, 5000)
Substituting:
y-5000 = (- 1000) (x-4)
Rewriting:
y = -1000x + 4000 + 5000
y = -1000x + 9000
The equation is:
y = -1000x + 9000
PART B:
For the price of 3.50 we have:
y = -1000 * (3.5) +9000
y = 5500
