To find the linear function that represents this situation, we need to determine the slope of the line using the two given data points.

Let:
-

x_1 = 2350

(market price of US$2,350)
-

y_1 = 6000

(number of units produced when market price is US$2,350)
-

x_2 = 1750

(market price of US$1,750)
-

y_2 = 4200

(number of units produced when market price is US$1,750)

The slope of the line can be calculated as:

m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Substitute the given values into the formula:

m = \dfrac{4200 - 6000}{1750 - 2350} = \dfrac{-1800}{-600} = 3

Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation to write the equation of the line:

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Substitute one of the points and the slope into the equation:

y - 6000 = 3(x - 2350)

y - 6000 = 3x - 7050

y = 3x - 1050

Therefore, the linear function that represents this situation is y =3x-1050

User One of the applications of the derivative of a function is its use in Physics, where a function that at every instant t associates the number s(t), this function s is called the clockwise function of the movement.

Present the speed of this body at time t = 8 s.
