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.

OpenStudy (henrietepurina):

Suppose in the next month, the total profit on smart phone cases and tablet cases is $1,500. The profit amounts are the same, $2 for smart phone case and $3 for the tablet case. In a paragraph of at least three sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are the same and how they are different. Be sure to use complete sentences.

i guess the first step is to say \[2x + 3y = 1,500 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the lines will be parallel because they have the same slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in that way they are the same the difference is that the second line is above the first

OpenStudy (anonymous):
