Company A: c = 1500 + 250x — y‑intercept 1500, slope 250.
Company B: c = 2500 + 150x — y‑intercept 2500, slope 150.

So Company B’s line starts higher on the y‑axis (higher fixed cost) but is less steep (lower cost per TV). The two lines cross when 1500 + 250x = 2500 + 150x ⇒ x = 10. For x < 10 Company A is cheaper; for x > 10 Company B is cheaper.
