karas fixed tees experienced costs of $500 and variable costs of $2 a shirt. (write an equation that can be used to determine the total expenses encountered by karas custom tees.

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Do you know about the slope intercept equation: y=mx+b?

OpenStudy (erniellyd28):

not really im sorry

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Okay, well y is the y coordinate, m is the slope, x is the x coordinate, and b is the y- intercept. The y and x are not really useful in this problem. M is the thing that changes or goes up/down. The b or y-intercept is fixed and doesn't change. So which one of those two in your questions is the m and which one is b?

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Are you there, @erniellud28

OpenStudy (erniellyd28):

im thining sorry

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Oh k

OpenStudy (erniellyd28):

its just that i never went far in math in high school

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Lol your in high school?

OpenStudy (study_together):

That is not high school...

OpenStudy (erniellyd28):

no im in college

OpenStudy (study_together):

what the...

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Im in middle school and I still know this seiff!

OpenStudy (study_together):

do you mean stuff

OpenStudy (erniellyd28):

but in high school i only went as far as prealgebra ad even that i have trouble with

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Wow.... Cuz this is real easy....

OpenStudy (study_together):

well you are ok

OpenStudy (erniellyd28):

math has always been my weakness

OpenStudy (erniellyd28):

easy for you not me lol

OpenStudy (study_together):

hahahahahaha @Kash_TheSmartGuy

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Well since b is the fixed variable, the $500 will be the b, and since m is the changing variable, $2 will be x. So your equation would look like: y=2x+500 and that's your answer

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Sorry I meant $2 will be m.

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

You get it?
