The SneakerRama Company makes and sells sneakers. They have one linear function that represents the cost of producing sneakers and another linear function that models how much income they get from those sneakers. Describe the key features that would determine if these linear functions ever intercepted.

Yes but that answer only shows one scenario where the two lines would intersect.

gabebae · Answer

If the two lines intersect that means they aren't making a profit

anonymous · Answer

There is no way they can make a profit if the lines intersect?

gabebae · Answer

Hold on

gabebae · Answer

ye I would say so

michele_laino · Answer

If such lines have an intersection point, then it means that at certain time, the costs are equal to the incomes, so there is no gain

anonymous · Answer

That's what I thought. How about key features? One I have noted is that I should convert the functions to slope-intercept form...is that correct?

michele_laino · Answer

yes it is!

anonymous · Answer

Yay!!! Would identifying the slope be another?

anonymous · Answer

Oh, and identifying the point of intersection...right?

michele_laino · Answer

I think that the slope of one line has to be negative, and the slope of the other one has to be positive. In that case we can get an itersection point

michele_laino · Answer

intersection*
