Graph the following equation: y = -4x + 2
2 answers:
To find graph this, you need to understand the equation.
The formula is y=mx+b, m being slope and b being y-intercept.
We start out graphing by finding where the y-intercept is--and we see that our intercept is 2. Place a point on (0, 2).
Now, we need to add our slope. Start at (0, 2) and go up 4 units. Next go to the LEFT (we have a negative slope, remember?). Continue this pattern.
It should look like this once it's done:

Answer:
Job A is more profitable for nearly 49 months (or 50 months including the first month)
Job B is more profitable after 49 months (or 50 months including the first month).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of months passed after first month
<u>Job A:</u>
$2,000 for the first month with a $300 raise every month thereafter
Function describing this situation:
<u>Job B:</u>
$1,500 for the first month with a 5% raise every month thereafter
Function describing this situation:
Plot both graphs (see attached diagram). The diagram shows that the job A is more profitable for nearly 49 months (or 50 months including the first month) and the job B is more profitable after 49 months (or 50 months including the first month).
