A supply curve for a product is the number of items that can be made available at different prices. A manufacturer of toy trucks can supply 2000 trucks if they are sold for $8 each; it can supply only 400 trucks if they are sold for $4 each. If x is the price and y the number of items, write an equation for the supply curve.

y = 400x - 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

considering the linear equation y  = mx + c

where y denotes number of items

x denotes item price

we have y = 2000 and x = $8  so we have now

2000 = m(8) + c 1

now we have

y = 400 and x = $4

400 = m(4) + c  2

from equation 1 and 2 we have

subtracting 2 from 1

1600 = 4m

m = 400

solving for c value

400 =  4m + c

400 = 4*400 + c

c = -1200

y = 400x - 1200

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
