The owner of a garden center delivers bags of mulch. Each bag is sold for $6. The owner spends $16 for transportation to deliver the bags. Which of the following is the slope of the profit function for the garden center owner per delivery? Answer Choices m=6 m=−6 m=16 m=−16

Respuesta :

m=6  
The profit function for this would be  P=6s-16 where P is profit, s is bags sold and -16 is the cost of transportation. the 6 represents how much each bag sells for. it is a linear equation that can be represented as y=mx+b where m is the slope or 6 in this case.
