Question 66648: I am really lost on this question on how to go about this correctly:
50. Business and finance. The cost of producing a number of items x is given by
C= mx + b, in which b is the fixed cost and m is the variable cost (the cost of producing one more item).
(a) If the fixed cost is $40 and the variable cost is $10, write the cost equation.
(b) Graph the cost equation.

The cost equation is: C+=+mx%2Bb
If variable cost m = $10 and the fixed cost, b = $40, then the equation becomes:
C+=+10x+%2B+40
Here's the graph of this equation:
