The profit, in dollars, of selling n items is given by P(n) = 0.86n - 2800. Identify the slope and the y-intercept.

0.86 and -2800 (choice A)

Explanation:

Think of the given equation as y = 0.86x - 2800

Then compare it to y = mx + b

We see that m = 0.86 is the slope and b = -2800 is the y intercept.

Slope: 0.86 , Y-intercept:-2800

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations go by the form of y=mx + c

where m is the gradient(slope of the graph) and c is the y-intercept

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
