Six friends create a website. The website earns money by selling banner ads. The site has 5 banner ads. It costs $120 a month to operate the website.
a. A banner ad earns $0.005 per click. Write a linear equation that represents the monthly income y (in dollars) for x clicks.
The linear equation y=.005x-120 represents the monthly income y for x clicks
----------------------------------
b. Graph the equation in part (a). Then use your graph to find the number of clicks needed for the friends to start making a profit.
Answer to start making a profit is 24,000.
------
So you have two points (0,-120) and (24000,0)
Plot the points and draw a line thru them.
That is the graph
