Maria has purchased a basic stained glass kit for $100. She plans to make stained glass suncatchers and sell them. She estimates that the materials for making each suncatcher will cost $13. Model this situation
with a rational function that gives the average cost of a stained glass suncatcher when the cost of the kit
is included in the calculation. Use the graph of the function to determine the minimum number of
suncatchers that brings the average cost below $22.50.
The minimum number of suncatchers that brings the average cost below
$22.50 is

Step-by-step explanation:

fixed cost = 100

variable cost = 13

soooo....

cost =  (13x + 100)/x

the questions wants to know  when cost  < 22.50

22.5 > (13x+100)/x

look at graph attached ;)

it looks to me like it's at 11

22.5 > (13(11) + 100) / 11

22.5 > 22.09

try 10

22.5 > (13(10) +100)/10

22.5  > 23   not true  so yes.. 11 is when the cost goes below 22.50

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
