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 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$.

$The graph shows the x y-coordinate plane where h is plotted along the x-axis and P is potted along the y-axis. The x-axis runs from 0 to 24. The y-axis runs from negative 300 to 500. The line P equals 35 h minus 250 is plotted from the bottom left to the top right.$
