Find the slope of this function. (Make sure to label your answer)

b. Find the y-intercept. What does this point represent?

Write the equation in �� = �� + �� form.

d. How many bears must you sell to break even (i.e. make a profit of 0)? Explain how you

got your answer.

2. For each of the following situations, identify the slope (use units of measure) and y-intercept,

state whether the function is increasing, decreasing, or neither, and write the equation that

models the function in �� = �� + �� form.
