I saw 420 and stopped reading, ill do the math tho <333

axie:

Ok, what does this problem give us?

Vocaloid:

x is # of magazines, y is profit as stated in the problem Therefore, 60 magazines, $220 profit can be written as (60,220). Likewise, 100 magazines, $420 profit means (100,420) Use the slope formula on these two points to get m, the slope From there, use the point slope formula y - y1 = m(x-x1) Judging by the answer choices, they want you to use (60,220) as (x1, y1). Plug in this, along with your slope from earlier, to get the complete formula.

Joe348:

I think it is like 220=60x+b and 420=100x+b

TETSXPREME:

B?

FABULOSA123:

yes........

Joe348:

No its not B

@astrid1

Vocaloid:

60 and 100 are not slope values. (60,220) and (100,420) Let’s let (x1, y1) be (60,220) And (x2,y2) be (100,420) m = (y2-y1) / (x2 - x1) = (420 - 220) / (100 - 60)

TETSXPREME:

oh ty so d?

Vocaloid:

(420 - 220) / (100 - 60) = 200/40 = 5 So your slope should be 5 not 2, so it cannot be D
