The daily cost to print x paperback scifi novels is Cx35x100

The daily cost to print x paperback sci-fi novels is C(x)=3.5x+1000. Find and interpret the slope of C. f(x)=mx+b y=mx+b C(x)=3.5x+1000

Solution

Given C(x) = 3.5x+1000.

Compare this equation with y=mx+b.

Here m is the slope of the equation and b is the y-intercept.

So the slope of C(x) is 3.5.
