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

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

Answer 2

you can always put it in a graphing calculator lol

Answer 3

how xD whats this mysterious way :P

Answer 4

do you actually want to graph this by hand?

Answer 5

how do i write the problem in it xD and no i defiantly defiantly do not want to graph anything by hand

Answer 6

Mmmhm. they only want you to describe this by words right ?

Answer 7

not actually graph it?

Answer 8

let y=0 and solve for x, (x,0) is your x intercept
Let x=0 and solve for y (0,y) is your y intercept

Answer 9

yea not actually graph it just explain

Answer 10

:O what?? thats all i write??

Answer 11

we determined the -2/3x= slope
400=intercept

Answer 12

ok well your slope intercept equation was

y=-2/3x+400

go you straight to the point 400(y intercept)

using the slope -2/3

you would run 2 points down, 3 points across and repeat

as slope is rise/run

Answer 13

if you want the x values to go to the negatives you would

go up 2 points, and move left 3 and repeat so it looks like

Answer 14

clear?

Answer 15

u know whats crazy xD in #4 they want the graph -,-

Answer 16

on paper?

Answer 17

y=(-2/3x)+400
go straight to the point 400 (y intercept) using the slope -2/3. You will go 2 points down,3 points across and repeat.
For x values- go up 2 points and move left 3.

Answer 18

thats what i wrote is it good. and also no its on either that graphing online or the paper
