Abusiness owner pays $1,200 per month in rent and a total of $120 per hour in employee salary for each hour the store is open. on average, the store brings in $200 in net sales per hour.
which equation can be solved to determine the break-even point if x represents the number of hours per month the store is open?
200x – 120x = 1,200
120x + 200x = 1,200
200x + 1,200 = 120x
120x – 1,200 = 200x

200x - 120x = 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The break-even point is when the amount of money he spends equals the amount he earns.  

Let's see how much he earns and how much he spends per month:

He earns $200 per hour. If x represents the number of hours per month, we can write the earns as 200x.

He spends $1,200 per month and $120 per hour. We can write it as 1,200 + 120x.

So, we need 200x = 1,200 + 120x

We don't have this exact equation in our options but if we subtract 120x from both sides, we have:

200x - 120x = 1,200 + 120x - 120x

200x - 120x = 1,200

The correct answer is the first equation.

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
