An artist makes pottery. The artist earns the same amount for each piece of pottery sold
but must pay a fee to rent a booth at a local fair. After analyzing data from recent sales,
the artist finds the equation y=42x-200 models the profit, y, earned for selling x
pieces of pottery after the expense of renting the booth. Which statement is true?
a)
The slope of the equation is -200, and it represents the $200 the artist earns, on
average, for every piece of pottery sold.
b)
The slope of the equation is -200, and it represents the cost of renting the
booth.
c) The slope of the equation is 42, and it represents the $42 the artist earns, on
average, for every piece of pottery sold.
d) The slope of the equation is 42, and it represents the cost of renting the booth.
