In the same month the supplier increased the number of boxes supplied from 350 to 441 boxes for margherita and 200 to 252 boxes for cheese. 1.How is the slope of the supply curve?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

m -margherita pizza

c- cheese

Jan, 350m +200c =550 supply

Feb, 441m +252c =693 supply

from (month 1, 550) to (month 2, 693)

slope = 693-550/2-1 = 143

the slope is positive and is m= 143
