The graph shows the profit, y, of a community fundraiser, with respect to the number of tickets sold, x. use the graph to complete each statement. drag and drop the answers into the boxes.

Y-intercept =  -700

Y-intercept represents the initial amount of  expenses

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see that the graph cut the x -axis at (35, 0) and y -axis at (0, -700)

Equation of line for two points and is given by:

;     ....[1] , . where m is the slope given by  

m =

For the points (0 , -700) and (35 , 0)

First calculate the slope:

m =

Now, substitute the value of m = 20 in [1];

we have

Simplify:

or

; where x is the number of ticket sold and y is the profit of a community fundraiser.                    ......[2]

To find the y-intercept;  

Y-intercept: The y-intercept of the line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

therefore,

y intercept = -700             [ As the graph cut the y-axis at y =-700]

The y-intercept represents the initial amount of expenses.

  answer:

  write 548 as 500 + 40 + 8. multiply each addend by 5. then add the three products to get 2,740.
