Fixed Costs The fixed costs to produce cars at a new plant with respect to the number of cars produced is shown below. a. Estimate the slope of the graph. Report the answer in a sentence of interpretation with units. b. Are fixed costs increasing, decreasing, or constant? How is this reflected in the value of the slope?

The management of a company that manufactures roller skates has fixed cost (cost at 0 output) of $300 per day and total costs of $4,300 per day at an output of 100 pairs of skates per day. Assume that cost C is linearly related to output x. a) Find the slope of the line joining the points associated with outputs of 1 and 100. b) Find an equation of the line relating output to cost. Write the final answer in the slope-intercept for representing Cost.
