Suppose a market research company finds that at a price (y) of $30, they would sell x =10 t-shirts. If they lower the price to y = $20, then more people would purchase the t-shirts, and they can expect to sell x = 30 t-shirts.

Find the equation of the line for the demand equation. Hint: Write your final answer in the form y = mx + b.
(x , y)
x = quantity y = price sold
10 30
30 20
(10, 30)
(30, 20)

To get the equation for the line,

1. First calculate M =


2. Use the point slope formula y - y = m(x - x ). Use your slope (m) from step 1 along with one of your points and plug them into the point slope equation. Write your final answer in the form y = mx + b.
