The furniture factory produces
chairs in one day it costs $
and
chairs cost $
.
(a)
\Consider cost of the chair as
and number of chairs as
are linearly related.
Find the cost as a function of the number of chairs produces.
\Here
is the input variable and
is the output.
Therefore the linear equation is
.
From the data the two points are
and
.
The line equation passing through the points
and
is
.
Substitute
and
in the line equation.

The linear equation is
.
Graph :
\(1) Draw the coordinate plane.
\(2) Draw the linear equation

(b)
\The two points are
and
.
The slope of a line passing through the points
and
is
.
Substitute
and
in the slope.

Slope is
.
It represents that the marginal cost production is $
per chair.
(c)
\The linear equation is
.
From the graph the
intercept is $
.
It represents that the fixed cost is $
.
(a) The linear equation is
and its graph is :

(b) Slope is
, it represents that the marginal cost production is $
per chair.
(c) The fixed cost is $
