Step-by-step explanation:
Find the equation of the line through the points (−2,5) and (4,9).
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
2x -3y = -19
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the differences between the given points, we have ...
(Δx, Δy) = (4, 9) -(-2, 5) = (6, 4)
The equation of the line can be written ...
Δy·x -Δx·y = Δy·(x1) -Δx·(y1) . . . . . for point (x1, y1) on the line
4x -6y = 4(-2) -6(5) = -38
Dividing by 2 gives the standard form equation ...
2x -3y = -19

<em>Additional comment</em>
The original equation 4x-6y=-38 satisfies the requirements of this problem. However, "standard form" requires the numbers in the equation be mutually prime (in addition to the problem requirements). That is, they must have no common factors. Hence, we must remove the common factor of 2 in order to have true "standard form."

Answer:
<em>If more than 134 articles are produced and sold, the firm will have positive profits and shoule start production</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost, Revenue, and Profit Function
The cost function C(x) is given by
where x is the number of produced products.
The revenue function is
With both equations, we can know the profit function as
For the firm to have positive profits, it has to produce x articles with the condition
Or, equivalently
Solving for x
Thus
This means that if more than 134 articles are produced and sold, the firm will have positive profits and shoule start production
