If you were to plug in x = 0, what would the value of y be?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = 1700 + 110x y = 1700 + 110*0 ... replace x with 0 y = _______ (fill in the blank)

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

1700

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, so if x = 0, then y = 1700 this means that if no books are sold, then his total pay is $1700

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the value of y when x = 1?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

i don't know. It's not 0 for sure. :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = 1700 + 110x y = 1700 + 110*1 ... replace x with 1 y = _______ (fill in the blank)

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

oh sorry

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

1810

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if he sells no books, then he earns $1700 if he sells 1 book, then he earns $1810

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the change in pay?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

110

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, which is essentially the slope (the number in front of the x)
