The function P(x) = 0.75x - 96 models the relationship between the number of pretzels x that a certain vendor sells and the profit the vendor makes. Find P(500), the profit the vendor makes from selling 500 pretzels.

279

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you plug in 500 for " x " because it says P( 500 ).

P( 500 ) = 0.75 (500) -96

Then, you multiply / simplify

P ( 500 ) = (375) - 96

P ( 500 ) = 279

Finally, it gives you your answer for selling 500 pretzels

279

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
