A company produces accessories for smart phones and tablets.

The profit on each smart phone case is $2 and

The profit on each tablet case is $3.
The company made a profit of $1,200 on the cases last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,200
represents the company's profit from cases last month,
where x is the number of smart phone cases sold and y is the number of tablet cases sold.
1.

Change the equation into slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the
equation. Be sure to show all of your work below:

2x+3y=1200
-2x
-2x
3y =- 2x+1200
3y = -2x+1200
3y
3y
Y = -2x + 400
3
Slope = -2x/3
Y-intercept = 400 or (0,400)
2.

Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write in
complete sentences.

First I would find graph that is needed to graph this equation maybe a chart that goes from left to
right negative six hundred to positive six hundred and up and down the same way. This is due to
the y intercept is 400.Step two I would identify where the y-axis is on the graph, then input the yintercept coordinate. Step three once that is done then I would use the slope rise over run method
with this fraction (-2x/3), to find the slope intercept as whole. This will lead me to create another
dot that I will connect to which will give me my slope.
3.

Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be
sure to use complete sentences.

3. Well I already have the equation in slope intercept form

Y = -2x + 400

Now to put the function into the equation f(x) or t(x) because the function t(x) gives the number of
tablets and the given x smart-phones have been sold/produced which makes more sense than
opposite way of course.
So it should look like this t(x) = -2x + 400

IM not sure about this one so I am also putting
F(x) = 2x + 1200

4. Graph the function using one of the following two options below. On the graph, make sure to
label the intercepts.

You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work.

You may graph your equation using graphic technology that can be found in the
Course Information area. (To graph with Geogebra, enter the function in the input box.)

Suppose in the next month, the total profit on smart phone cases and tablet cases is $1,500. The
profit amounts are the same, $2 for smart phone case and $3 for the tablet case. In a paragraph of
at least three sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are the same
and how they are different. Be sure to use complete sentences.

Well since the equation is same minus a smaller detail the only thing I have to do to solve it
is to input the value 1500$ instead of 1200.

2x+3y=1500
-2x
-2x
3y =- 2x+1500
3y = -2x+1500
3y
3y
Y=-2x + 500
3

Y-intersect = 500
Slope= -2x

How the two months are different but similar?
The reason for the two moths being different is due to the fact that the income is slightly
higher which would increase the profit and the bar line so the x intercept would increase and
the y as well for the new graph or chart. The newer one make the standards higher for profit
resulting the values on the graph or chart to increase. Now the reason they are similar is
because of the two similar integers which is the phone and tablet price stay the same the
next month also the slope is similar.

5. Below is a graph that represents the total profits for a third month. Write the equation of the line
that represents this graph. Show your work or explain how you determined the equations.

From just looking at the graph I could tell that the y-intercept is 300 and the x-intercept Is about 450 due to the fact
they touch the axis x and y. 450 +300 = 1 the least common multiple of 450 and 300 is 900. I could determine that the
equation should look like this.
2x + 3y = 900
