at a unit price of $900, the quantity demanded of a certain commodity is 75 pounds. if the unit price increases to $956, the quantity demanded decreases by 14 pounds. find the demand equation (assuming it is linear) where p is the unit price and x is the quantity demanded for this commodity in pounds.
p =
at what price are no consumers willing to buy this commodity? $
according to the above model, how many pounds of this commodity would consumers take if it was free?

a) 56x = 16800 - 14p  

b) $1200

c) 300 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At p₁ = $900 ; x₁ = 75 pounds

at p₂ = $956 ; x₂ = 75 - 14 = 61 pounds

Now,

from the standard equation of line, we have

on substituting the respective values, we get

or

( x - 75 ) × 56 = -14p + 12600

or

56x - 4200 = -14p + 12600

or

56x = 16800 - 14p        (relation between the unit price p and demand x)

b) For no consumers x = 0

thus, substituting in the relation we get

56 × 0 = 16800 - 14p

or

14p = 16800

or

p = $1200

c) For free , p = $0

on substituting in the above relation derived, we get

56x = 16800 - ( 14 × 0 )

or

x = 300 pounds

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

no solution

there is not enough information in the problem to solve.
