Question

WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE?? The Pool Fun Company has learned​ that, by pricing a newly released Fun Noodle at $3, sales will reach 8000 Fun Noodles per day during the summer. Raising the price to $6 will cause the sales to fall to 5000 Fun Noodles per day. a. Assume that the relationship between sales​ price, x, and number of Fun Noodles​ sold, ​ y, is linear. Write an equation in​ slope-intercept form describing this relationship. Use ordered pairs of the form​ (sales price, number​ sold).

Answer 1

Answer:

  y = -1000x +11000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  (x, y) = (sales price, number sold) = (3, 8000), (6, 5000)

Find:

  slope-intercept equation for a line through these points

Solution:

When given two points, it often works well to start with the 2-point form of the equation for a line.

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

Filling in the given points, you have ...

  y = (5000 -8000)/(6 -3)/(x -3) +8000

  y = (-3000/3)(x -3) +8000

  y = -1000x +3000 +8000 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = -1000x +11000 . . . . the desired equation
