Question 991565: the profit p in pesos from a buko juice stand can be modeled by the equation p=5x-100 where x represents the number of glasses of buko juice juice sold. what is the y-intercept and explain what does it represent in this problem? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p = 5x - 100
p is the profit
x is the number of glasses of buko juice sold.
the y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0.
this would represent their profit if none of the glasses of buko juice was sold.
if you solve for the value of p when x = 0, you will see that p = -100.
this means that they would have a negative profit if they sold none of the glasses of buko juice.
a negative profit is the same as a loss.
