    ⓑ Find the cost for a week when she serves 14 meals.
    ⓒ Interpret the slope and C-intercept of the equation.
    ⓓ Graph the equation.

    59. 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.

    ⓓ 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.
