Basic Math

Assume the demand function is D(p) = 150 – 5p (p is price).

a. What is the slope? 5(30-p) Oe=150-5p p=30

b. What is the y-intercept = 180

c. Using the definition of slope what does the demand do asprice increases ∆푦 ∆푥 by $1? Demand will decrease by 2

d. Graph the function (p is on the x-axis, D(p) is on they-axis). Hint: all you need are the x-intercept (set D(p) = 0 andsolve for p) and the y-intercept. Mark those points on the graph.D(p) = y x (price)
