graphed
What is Jada's profit if she sells 60 kilograms of paprika?

Answer 1

Answer:

If Jada sells 60 kilograms of paprika, her profit would be $200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The missing graph is attached below.

From the graph,

Taking two points

• (35, 0)

• (60, 200)

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\:\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(35,\:0\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(60,\:200\right)$

$m=\frac{200-0}{60-35}$

$m=8$

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

Putting (60, 200) and m = 8 in the slope-intercept form

$200=\left(60\right)\left(8\right)+b$

$\left(60\right)\left(8\right)+b=200$      

$480+b=200$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}480\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$480+b-480=200-480$

$b=-280$

Thus

$y=mx+b$

$y=8x+\left(-280\right)$

$y=8x-280$

Putting x = 60

$y=8\left(60\right)-280$

$y=200$

Therefore, if Jada sells 60 kilograms of paprika, her profit would be $200.
