Question 239978: So I need help with a word problem. I am pretty sure that i have to write it in y=mx+b form but I'm having a lot of trouble. I've only gotten as far as solving for slope but thats about it. Here it is.
After being in business for a year, you discover that you are selling more boxes then you expected. you find that this is due to a larger base of customers. You find for the last several months you have consistently sold 325 boxes of markers at $23.50 per box. You continue to assume that if you charge $30 per box that you will sell 0 boxes. Use (23.5, 325) and (30,0) to find the new linear demand function.
