Question

Jennifer sells paper by the pound. It costs Jennifer $10.00 to ship any package of paper. For every pound of paper Jennifer sell she earns a profit of $3.00. Which graph could Jennifer use to calculate her total profit from selling and shipping any package? The x-axis represents the weight of any package (in pounds) and the y-axis represents Jennifer's total profit (in dollars).

Answer 1

costs her 10 so minus 10 from profit
earns 3 per pound
so if she sells x pounds and profit is y then

profit=number of pound sold times cost per pound minus shipping or
y=3x-10
the equation is y=3x-10
it intercepts the y axis at y=-10
intercepts the x axis at x=10/3
some points on the graph are (0,-10) (1,-7) (2,-4), (3,-1), (4,2) etc
see which one is that graph

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It costs Jeniffer $10 for each package. She earn $3 in profit for each package. Jennifer could use the equation y = 3x - 10 to model

her total profit. Graph A shows this linear equation.
