Question 178784: How to solve C= 2.85n + 30.52 to a) Find and interpret the C-intercept for the line?
b) Find and interpret the n-intercept for the line?
c) Graph the line for n ranging from 0 through 20?
Can you please offer me some helpful information on how to solve equations such as these?
Thank you,

You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) it would correctly be the C intercept not the n intercept
:
remember the slope intercept equation y=mx+b......where m is the slope and b is
the y intercept. This is the same thing only its C instead of y.
:
so the C-intercept is 30.52. We cannot really interpret it without more information which you probably didnt give us. If you want it interpreted email me the rest of the problem.
:
for n=0 to 20
you just plug the values in for n and solve for C
:
example: n=0, C=30.52...so (0,30.52)
:
n=1, C=2.85(1)+30.52=33.37...so (1,33.37)
:
you'll find for every increase in n by 1 that the C will increase by 2.85
:
so n=2 is 33.37+2.85=36.22
...n=3 is 36.22+2.85
:
and so it continues to 20
:
here is the graph:
