Would someone help me with my Algebra 1 stuff please? c: ( STILL NEED HELP! y-intercept stuff)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i might be able to help what your question ?

@beatboxingfetus

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

Alright hold on, let me get my paper out and such!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

Okay so, its like a word form kinda thing with a bunch of questions about the question, ill just send it haha

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

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. Change the equation into slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all of your work. Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write in complete sentences. Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences. Graph the function using one of the following two options below. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work. You may graph your equation using graphic technology that can be found in the Course Information area. 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. Below is a graph that represents the total profits for a third month. Write the equation of the line that represents this graph. Show your work or explain how you determined the equations.

Sorry it's a lot!

lets take it one step at a time do you know what slope intercept form is?

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

y= mx +b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay do you know how to put your equation into slope intercept form?

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

im trynna figure out how, i /think/ that it would be y= 2x +3? im prob wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to graph in slope intercept form

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

i remember it vaguely but not really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhh well im the same havent done algebra in awhile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to be honest i got to looking at this and im so confused maybe @dan815 can help you or @perl

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

OKay well thank you anyways! c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome

OpenStudy (ahvei):

i can help anyime you need help with algebra

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

oh good! Can you help me with graphing y-incercept?
