The straight-line equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = m×x + b m = slope b = intercept with y-axis
And is fundamental to know that parallel lines have the same slope
The solution is
Larry´s Profit equation in slope-intercept form:
y = (-2/3)×x + 600
In function notation is:
f(x) = ( -2/3) ×x + 600
To get the slope-interception form
1800 = 2×x + 3×y
Reordering
3×y = - 2×x + 1800
y = (-2/3)×x + 1800/3
y = (-2/3)×x + 600 ( in attached file in blue)
m = -2/3 ( the slope ) and y-intercept is P ( 0 , 600 )
All interception points are like:
Interception with y-axis: P ( 0 ; y )
Interception with x-axis: Q ( x : 0)
To graph the line using the slope-intercept procedure we must:
- Place the y-intercept ( Point P ) in the coordinates system
- The slope - (2/3) is -2/3. We move from point P, 2 units down which means 200 in the y-axis, and from that, we move 3 units to the right 300 in the coordinates; this last point Q is another point on the line with two points any straight line is defined Q( 400, 300).
We can check our job calculating the x-intercept
y = 0 = (- 2/3)×x + 600 ⇒ (- 2/3)×x = -600
x = (3×600)/2 x = 900
Intercept point R ( 900 ; 0)
The line pass throug it
In function notation the equation becomes:
f(x) = ( -2/3) ×x + 600
Next Month profit amounts are the same, we call y₂ the next line then
2040 = 2×x + 3×y₂ or y₂ = - (2/3)×x + 680
slope m = -2/3 y-intercept P´ ( 0 ; 680 ) x-intercept R´( 1020;0)
In attached file in green
- The two lines have the same slope ( they are parallel)
- As the prices are the same the situation is like the first straight line was moved (slide) diagonal keeping the slope
- As the sales increase the interception points becomes bigger both
For the third month, we have to point for the graph the intercepts
y-axis intercept P´´ ( 0 ; 300 )
x-axis intercept R´´ ( 450 ; 0 )
Again the line keeps the slope 300/450 = 0.6666
(red line in attached file)
With the two points the line equation is:
y₃ = -06666 × x + 450
