Question

A company produces accessories for smart phones and tablets. The profit on each smart phone case is $2 and the profit on each tablet case is $3. The company made a profit of $1,200 on the cases last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,200 represents the company's profit from cases last month, where x is the number of smart phone cases sold and y is the number of tablet cases sold.

Answer 1

I don't want anybody to do it for me just am stuck. could use a little help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

It is good that you are stuck, since there isn't a question. All we have is a description of the situation.

Answer 3

whats the question ?

Answer 4

1. Change the equation into slope-intercept form
. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation.
Be sure to show all of your work.

Answer 5

2x + 3y = 1200
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
3y = -2x + 1200
y = -2/3x + 1200/3
y = -2/3x + 400 ==> slope intercept form
In y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position and the y intercept is in the b position.
Therefore, the slope is -2/3 and the y intercept is 400

Answer 6

any questions ?

Answer 7

thank you and no

Answer 8

hey hold on

Answer 9

can you answer one more question

Answer 10

possibly...what ya got

Answer 11

Describe how you would graph this line using slope intercept method

Answer 12

write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function reprsdents

Answer 13

doesent matter which one

Answer 14

@kelliegirl33 help please

Answer 15

y = -2/3x + 400
we already know that the y intercept is 400 or (0,400)
to find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y
2x + 3(0) = 1200
2x = 1200
x = 600...so the x intercept is 600 or (600,0)
plot your intercept points (0,400) and (600,0)

your slope is -2/3. So start at your x axis (600,0) and come down 2 spaces, and go to the right 3 spaces, then down 2 and to the right 3...keep doing this and you will eventually cross the y axis at (600,0)

Answer 16

is that for the second or third question I asked

Answer 17

that is graphing using slope intercept

Answer 18

ok thank you

Answer 19

function notation...solve for y and then replace y with f(x).
y = -2/3x + 400
function notation would be : f(x) = -2/3x + 400

Answer 20

ok thank you for all the help
