Question

I'm pretty bad at math, and I need some help with this question


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
The graph is a straight line, starting at Y-300, and going southwest in a straight line to X 450

Answer 1

This is the graph

Answer 2

well I am with you on the math thing but i might be able to figure it out.

Answer 3

That would be amazing!

Answer 4

ok I will try

Answer 5

Hello @Venom1954 and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)

we can try using the equation of \(y = mx + b\)
where \(m = slope\)
and \(b = y-intercept\)

In this case, they have given us that the \(y-intercept = 300\)
so we just need to find the slope

slope = rise divided by run = (high minus low) / (left minus right)
= (300 - 0) / (0 - 450) = negative 300/450 = [simplify]
once you get that, we can plug in
m = slope
and
y intercept = 300
into the equation
y = mx + b

This should get you to your answer ^_^
