Let $\"+n+\"$ = the number of $1 increases in price
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m%28n%29+=+3000+-+500n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "( note that $\"+m%280%29+=+3000+\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is $\"+-500+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Here's the plot. Note that $\"+n+%3C=+6+\"$ , because
\n" ); document.write( "when $\"+n=6+\"$ , they sell no milk.
