The management of a company that manufactures skateboards has fixed costs (costs at 0 output) of $300

Question:

The management of a company that manufactures skateboards has fixed costs (costs at 0 output) of $300 per day and total costs of $4,300 per day at an output of 100 skateboards per day. Assume that cost C is linearly related to output x.

(A) Find the slope of the line joining the points associated with outputs of 0 and 100, that is, the line passing through (0, 300) and (100, 4,300).

(B) Find an equation of the line relating output to cost. Write the final answer in the form C = mx + b.

(C) Graph the cost equation from part (B) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 200.
