Suppose the distributor charges the artist a $60.00 cost for distribution, and the streaming services pays $5.00 per one thousand streams.

model the profit for the total number of streams by answering the questions below:

use the cost for distribution to build your y-intercept. what is the y-intercept?
hint: the y-intercept is a point on the y axis, so your answer should be an ordered pair.
hint: you have to keep in mind that any time you pay for something, you are spending money, if your y-intercept is incorrect, all your numbers will be off
use the payment per thousand streams to build your slope. what is the slope?
use the slope-intercept format (y = mx + b) to give the equation of the line. what is the equation of this line?
graph the line by adjusting the sliders below. show your line by attaching an image below.
after how many streams will you pay for the distributor charges? (round to the nearest thousand)
how many streams would it take to profit $200,000?
challenge question: in 2017, despacito became one of the most streamed songs of all time. it was streamed 4.6 billion times (4,600,000,000) within the first six months after it's initial release. calculate the profit earned using these numbers. (hint: use the slope intercept format to build this equation).

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

i can't read the graph

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

a is the right answer
