Question

who ever is good at graphing intercepts please help.

Answer 1

Question?

Answer 2

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.
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.
2.Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write in complete sentences

Answer 3

I have done the first question but I don't know how to do the second one.

Answer 4

Can you show me your work?

Answer 5

1. Finding X
2x + 3y = 1200
2x + 3(0) = 1200
2x = 1200
x = 600

Finding Y
2x + 3y = 1200
2(0) + 3y = 1200
3y = 1200
y = 400

Answer 6

It's not asking for that, its asking to put it into y = mx + b

2x + 3y = 1200
-2x -2x

3y = -2x + 1200
/3 /3 /3

y = -2/3x + 400


Now recall that the M is the slope and B is the y intercept in y = mx + b


And to graph it, you simply plot the y intercept at 400 or (0,400)

And you do Rise / Run ; which is down 2 right 3

Answer 7

ok..thanks

Answer 8

Yw.

Answer 9

how is the 2 a negative though.???

Answer 10

Because you subtracted 2x from both sides.

Answer 11

ohhhhh. sorry. I suck at this. I have no idea what you wrote im jut guessing your right.
