Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit on every wrap is $3. Sal made a profit of $1,470 from lunch specials last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,470 represents Sal's profits last month, where x is the number of sandwich lunch specials sold and y is the number of wrap lunch specials sold.

Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.
Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method.

4 Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.

5 Graph the function. 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 or you may use graphing technology.

6 Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 for each sandwich and $3 for each wrap. In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different.

7 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.

1.	Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.
2x + 3y = 1,470
 –2x –2x 
3y = –2x + 1,470
 3y/ 3 = –2x/3 + 1,470/3
 y = –2x/3 + 490 the y-intercept of this equation is 490 and the slope is -2x/3.
2.	Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.
I would graph this line by finding the y-intercept 490 first. Then, you would move down twice from 490 to 488. Finally, you would move to the right 3 times
3.	Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.
F(x) = –2x/3 + 490 the graph would represent the profit of Sal’s Sandwich Shop on every sandwich and wrap from the lunch specials last month.
thats how far i got i dont know if its all right tho...
