.

First find the slope of the linear function


    m = .


In this problem,   = 75;   = 45;   = 6;   = 8,

so  m =  =  = -15.



Thus the demand function of price  x  is  d(x) = 75 - 15*(x-6)  pounds of the chocolate moose.


It is the same as  d(x) = 75 + 90 - 15x = 165 - 15x. 



ANSWER.  The demand function of the price x is  d(x) = 165 - 15x  pounds of the chocolate moose.
