So they let us know the demand or the price of cell phones in 2013 was 335 and they sold $1 ,010 million.
00:11
And then in 2017, the price dropped to $2 .85 and they sold that $1 ,510 million.
00:19
So they wanted us to get the linear demand function.
00:22
So it means how much are they selling at a particular price? so i've got it in terms of ordered payers.
00:30
Let's find our equation, y equals mx plus b.
00:33
I'm going to subtract my y values, so that's going to end up being 400, and then i want to subtract my x values, that's going to end up being negative 50.
00:42
So that means my slope is going to be negative 8.
00:46
So we have y equals negative 8x plus b.
00:50
Now i'm going to find out b, and to do that, i'm going to pick one of these ordered pairs, and it really doesn't matter.
00:55
I'm just going to use this one...
