Question

the graph represents the expected hourly revenue, in dollars, \\(y\\), earned by a car wash for each decrease of \\(x\\) dollars in the price of a car wash.

what is the hourly revenue if there is no decrease in price?

Explanation:

Identify the variable representing no decrease in price

The horizontal axis represents the decrease in price, \(x\), in dollars.
"No decrease in price" corresponds to \(x = 0\).

Find the corresponding y-value on the graph

Locate \(x = 0\) on the horizontal axis and find the corresponding point on the vertical axis (the y-intercept).
At \(x = 0\), the plotted point is at \(y = 200\).

Match the value with the options

The hourly revenue \(y\) when \(x = 0\) is \(\$200\).
This matches the fourth option.

Answer:

• $100
• $150
• $225
• $200 (Correct answer)
