Question 478819
Suppose that a market research company finds that at a price of p = $27, they would sell x = 27 tiles each month.
 If they lower the price to p = $17, then more people would purchase the tile, and they can expect to sell x = 37 tiles in a month’s time. 
Find the equation of the line for the demand equation. 
Write your answer in the form p = mx + b.
:
We will use the slope formula and the point/slope formula, but
instead of x & y, we will use x & p
Assign the given values as follows
x1 = 27; p1 = 27
x2 = 37; p2 = 17
Find the slope
m = {{{(27 - 17)/(37 - 27)}}} = {{{(-10)/(10)}}} = -1 is the slope
Find the equation
p - 27 = -1(x - 27)
p - 27 = -x + 27
p = -x + 54 is the demand equation

I corrected a screw-up here, the final equation is right and unchanged, but
some mistakes in the slope equation were made, I am sorry if I confused you. C
