The waxman’s just opened a carpet store. their start up cost were $5000, and their cost of carpet is $8 per square yard. how many square yards of carpet do they need to sell in order to break even if they sell the carpet for $ 18 per square yard?

So you would do 5000 divided by 8 which is 625 , then you take that number and divide by 18 which will lead you to the answer 34.7 but you can round it to the nearest tenths and be 35 square yards.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
