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.

Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences

so how do i go about writing this? @dtan5457

dtan5457 · Answer

your old equation after diving everything by 3 etc

was y=-2/3x+400

dtan5457 · Answer

now it's just f(x)=-2/3x+400

i did that it shows nothing @dtan5457

dtan5457 · Answer

what are you suppose to type in again?

sparklestaraa · Answer

Graph the function and on the graph, I have to make sure to label the intercepts

dtan5457 · Answer

so if it's online graphing, your allowed to take a screen shot?

sparklestaraa · Answer

yes :P

dtan5457 · Answer

the function was y=-2/3x+400 right?

sparklestaraa · Answer

yes :D

dtan5457 · Answer

send your teacher this

omg thanks soooo much :D

sparklestaraa · Answer
