7 The graph of p = 400 and the graph of p = 50s - 200 intersect at the point (12,400).
If the equation p = 50s - 200 represents the profit, p, based on s sales, what does
the intersection best represent?
A When the sales are 400, the profit is 12.
B When the sales are 12, the profit is 400.
C The profit is always 400.
D The sales are always 12.

Answer:

B When the sales are 12, the profit is 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 500s - 200[/tex]

[tex]p = 400[/tex]

[tex](s,p) = (12,400)[/tex]

Required

Interpret the intersection

From the intersection, we have the following parameters.

[tex](s,p) = (12,400)[/tex]

Literally, it means

[tex]s = 12[/tex] when [tex]p = 400[/tex]

From the question, we understand that

s represents sales while p, profit.

So, the interpretation of [tex](s,p) = (12,400)[/tex] is when sales = 12, profit = 400
