Answer:
a. i) Please see the included graph of the equation $10·x + $12·y = $300
ii) The intercepts give the maximum number of either short-sleeve (x-intercept) long-sleeved (y-intercept) that can be ordered
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information are;
The cost of each short-sleeved shirt = $10
The cost of each long-sleeved shirt = $12
The amount available in the budget = $300
The equation for the total cost = $10·x + $12·y = $300
Where;
x = The number of short-sleeved shirts
y = The number of long-sleeved shirts
Rewriting the equation given in slope and intercept form, we have;
$10·x + $12·y = $300
$12·y = $300 - $10·x
y = $300/$12 - $10·x/$12
y = 25 - 5/6·x
Please find attached, the graph of the equation made with Microsoft Excel
The values of the data that can calculated to plot the graph are;
x, y
(0, 25 )
(5, 20.83 )
(10, 16.67)
(15, 12.5 )
(20, 8.33)
(25, 4.17)
(30, 0 )
The x-intercept gives the number of short-sleeve shirts that can be purchased with the $300 available budget, while the y-intercept gives the number of short-sleeve shirts that can be purchased with the $300 available budget.
