First, find the expected number of scooters rented per month:
As the data is symmetrical, E(X) (the expected value) is the middle value. So, on average, 2.5 scooters should be taken per month.
His total costs were 5 * 3000 = $15,000
So, to break even, he needs to make $15,000.
He will be selling for 5 years, or 60 months.
As a result, he needs to make 15000/60 = $250/month
As he is selling 2.5 scooters on average, he needs to rent each for:
$250/2.5 = <u>$100/month</u>
Look for what 'y' is when t = 1 and t = 2. Go to the graph, look at 1 on the bottom axis and go up till you find the point, then go all the way to the left to see what the y-value is, in this case it should be 1200. If you do the same with t = 2, you will get 2400. So our two ordered pairs are:
(1, 1200), (2, 2400)
We can find the slope of these two points by plugging them into the slope formula:

For points in the form of (x1, y1), (x2, y2). Plug in what we know:

Subtract:

Divide:

This is the slope, so we can write the equation:
Square centimeters are just telling that it's an area of a rectangle, square or some other shape.
