\
(a)
\The linear equation is
, where
is the charge of the rental space at the market (in dollars).
Graph :
\Graph of the function
:
axis : Rental charge per space.
axis : Number of spaces.
Rental charge per space and number of spaces cannot be a negative.
\Graph the function for the positive values of
and
.
\
(b)
\The function is
.
Compare the linear equation with slope-intercept form of line equation
.
Slope
.
The slope
represents that for every 1 dollar increase in rental space, the number of spaces rented decreases by 4.
Observe the graph:
\
intercept is 200 and
intercept is 50.
The
intercept represents spaces available for no rental charge.
The
intercept represents rental charge of $ 50 when nobody will rent any space at the flea market.
