Question

an electronics manufacturer has 140 capacitors, and the same number of capacitors is needed for each circuit board made. the manufacturer uses the capacitors to make 35 circuit boards. Identify and interpret, plot the points on a graph, and connect the points

Answer 1

if x be the number of circuit boards
a be the number of capacitors
y = ax
given that 140 capacitors allowed the production of 35 boards
140 = 35x
x = 4
No circuit boards can be made without capacitors so the line's y intercept is 0. No capacitors are used if no circuit boards are to be made so the x intercept is also 0.
hope it helps
