\
(a)
\The linear equation is , where
is the charge of the rental space at the market (in dollars).
Graph :
\Graph of the function :
axis : Rental charge per space.
axis : Number of spaces.
Rental charge per space and number of spaces cannot be a negative.
\Graph the function for the positive values of and
.
\
(b)
\The function is .
Compare the linear equation with slope-intercept form of line equation .
Slope .
The slope represents that for every 1 dollar increase in rental space, the number of spaces rented decreases by 4.
Observe the graph:
\intercept is 200 and
intercept is 50.
The intercept represents spaces available for no rental charge.
The intercept represents rental charge of $ 50 when nobody will rent any space at the flea market.
