Question 1139839: I want to start a lemonade stand and need to determine how much lemonade I need to sell to break even each day.
If I know I spend $5 on supplies and sell the lemonade at $0.50 per glass determine the number of glasses I must sell to break even. After you find the number of glasses tell me what the x-intercept, y-intercept and slope represent in the function. Answer should include:
1. Number of glasses
2. x-intercept
3. y-intercept
4. slope
Thank you very much.

COST: 5 dollars

REVENUE: 0.5x, for x number of "glasses" of lemonade


Break-Even:
5=0.5x
x=5%2F0.5
highlight%28x=10%29


PROFIT: y for profit
y=0.5x-5-----------and you can find the x and y intercepts from this equation if you want.

If your sign says, "Lemonade with Vodka"
you will sell a lot, and make a lot of money.
o/w, you're wasting your time.
