\r\n" );
document.write( "Profit = Revenue - Cost\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Cost has two parts:\r\n" );
document.write( "Fixed cost of operating the flight, irrespective of number of passengers = 9500\r\n" );
document.write( "Variable cost for each passenger is not specified. Assume it is 0\r\n" );
document.write( "So the total cost = $9500\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Revenue:\r\n" );
document.write( "Revenue from one passenger = cost of the ticket = $135\r\n" );
document.write( "Total Revenue from n passengers = 135*n\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Profit P = Total revenue - total cost = 135*n - 9500\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " is the linear function.\r\n" );
