SOLUTION: At a price of p=$2.50, they will sell x=450 each week If they lower the price to p=$2.00, they will sell x=550 bagels each week Assuming this relationship is linear, write an e

Question 1159481: At a price of p=$2.50, they will sell x=450 each week
If they lower the price to p=$2.00, they will sell x=550 bagels each week
Assuming this relationship is linear, write an equation that relates the price, p, to the number of bagels, x , that will be sold. Your equation should look like p= m x+b.
Is this finding the slope, and using one of the plot points(450, 2.50) to receive p=mx+b?

You should use BOTH points to find the slope.
