For each supply equation, where \(x\) is the quantity supplied in units of 1000 and \(p\) is the unit price in dollars, (a) sketch the supply curve and (b) determine the number of units of the commodity the supplier will make available in the market at the given unit price. $$ p=2 x+10 ; p=14 $$
For each demand equation, where \(x\) represents the quantity demanded in units of 1000 and \(p\) is the unit price in dollars, (a) sketch the demand curve and (b) determine the quantity demanded corresponding to the given unit price \(p\). $$ p=-3 x+60 ; p=30 $$
The Venus Health Club for Women provides its members with the following table, which gives the average desirable weight (in pounds) for women of a given height (in inches): $$ \begin{array}{lrrrrr} \hline \text { Height, } \boldsymbol{x} & 60 & 63 & 66 & 69 & 72 \\ \hline \text { Weight, } \boldsymbol{y} & 108 & 118 & 129 & 140 & 152 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ a. Plot the weight \((y)\) versus the height \((x)\). b. Draw a straight line \(L\) through the points corresponding to heights of \(5 \mathrm{ft}\) and \(6 \mathrm{ft}\). c. Derive an equation of the line \(L\). d. Using the equation of part (c), estimate the average desirable weight for a woman who is \(5 \mathrm{ft}, 5\) in. tall.
Write the equation in the slopeintercept form and then find the slope and \(y\) -intercept of the corresponding line. $$ x-2 y=0 $$
Write the equation in the slopeintercept form and then find the slope and \(y\) -intercept of the corresponding line. $$ y-2=0 $$
