You can put this solution on YOUR website!
They are giving you a slope for the graph
\n" ); document.write( "of $\"+t+=+f%28+c+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "slope = [ change in t ] / [ change in c ] for the points:
\n" ); document.write( "( 0, 6000 ) and ( 12000, 8000 )
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use the general point-slope formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+t+-+6000+%29+%2F+%28+c+-+0+%29+=+%28+8000+-+6000+%29+%2F+%28+12000+-+0+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+t+-+6000+%29+%2F+c+=+2000+%2F+12000++\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+t+-+6000+%29+%2F+c+=+1%2F6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+-+6000+=+%28+1%2F6%29%2Ac+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+%28+1%2F6+%29%2Ac+%2B+6000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If they make only trucks, then $\"+c=0+\"$ and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+6000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "Does it go through the point ( 12000, 8000 )?
