Graph and Interpret Applications of Slope–Intercept
Exercise \(\PageIndex{85}\)
Katherine is a private chef. The equation \(C=6.5m+42\) models the relation between her weekly cost, \(C\), in dollars and the number of meals, \(m\), that she serves.
- Find Katherine’s cost for a week when she serves no meals.
- Find the cost for a week when she serves \(14\) meals.
- Interpret the slope and \(C\)-intercept of the equation.
- Graph the equation.
Exercise \(\PageIndex{86}\)
Marjorie teaches piano. The equation \(P=35h−250\) models the relation between her weekly profit, \(P\), in dollars and the number of student lessons, \(s\), that she teaches.
- Find Marjorie’s profit for a week when she teaches no student lessons.
- Find the profit for a week when she teaches \(20\) student lessons.
- Interpret the slope and \(P\)-intercept of the equation.
- Graph the equation.
- Answer
-
- \(−$250\)
- \($450\)
- The slope, \(35\), means that Marjorie’s weekly profit, \(P\), increases by \($35\) for each additional student lesson she teaches. The \(P\)-intercept means that when the number of lessons is \(0\), Marjorie loses \($250\).
