A company has determined that its weekly profit is a function of the number of items that it sells. Which equation could represent the weekly profit in thousands of dollars, y, when the company sells x items? y squared = 4 x squared minus 100 y = negative x squared + 50 x minus 300 x = negative y squared minus 400 x squared = negative 6 y squared + 200

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

Step-by-step explanation:

A. y^2=4x^2-100

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

C. x=-y^2-400

D. x^2=-6y^2+200

we are to find profits (y) when the company sells x items

Option A can be used to calculate the profit (y) squared

Option B can be used to calculate profits (y)

Option C can be used to calculate items sold(x)

Option D can be used to calculate items sold squared(x^2)

We are asked to find the weekly profit (y) function which eliminate options A, C and D leaving us with option B

Therefore, the weekly profits (y) function in thousands of dollars when the company sells x items is

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

you cant answer this dummy

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
