Hi! I need help, please. So for one of my questions, I had to find the intersection on a graph. the answer was x=6 and y=32. The scenario was "You are an entrepreneur and selling handmade kites. Your company Kites-R-Fun has been contacted by a customer in Alaska who wants to purchase several of your best-selling kites and wants you to ship them to her. You have already established the cost at $4 each and it's only going to cost you $8 to ship these items to Alaska. Your competitor Windy Kites sells the same items, but charges half of your price. However, if the customer buys from your competitor, she will be charged $20 in shipping costs." so now i need to see how my answers mean in terms of this scenario. PLEASE HELP

No idea what your x and y represent

My guess is that you want to know the break-even point
If you sell x kites the cost to the byer from you is
4x + 8
the cost from your competitor is
2x + 20

so when is 4x+8 = 2x+20
4x-2x = 20-8
2x = 12
x = 6
the cost ineach case to the byer is 4x+8 = 4(6)+8 = 32
same cost from the other equation, thus the "break-even"

To evaluate how your answers (x=6 and y=32) relate to the given scenario, let's analyze the situation step by step.

The intersection point (x, y) = (6, 32) represents the point on the graph where the cost for buying your kites and shipping them from Kites-R-Fun matches the cost for buying kites and shipping from Windy Kites.

Here's what we can infer from the given information:

1. The x-coordinate, 6, represents the number of kites purchased. When the customer buys exactly 6 kites from Kites-R-Fun, the total cost (including shipping) will be equal to or less than the cost of buying the same number of kites from Windy Kites.

2. The y-coordinate, 32, represents the total cost of purchasing 6 kites and shipping them from Kites-R-Fun. This cost is compared to the total cost of buying the same kites from Windy Kites, which is $20 (half the price of Kites-R-Fun) plus $8 for shipping.

Since (6, 32) is the intersection point, it means that when the customer buys 6 kites from Kites-R-Fun, the total cost (including shipping) is equal to the total cost of buying 6 kites from Windy Kites. In this case, both would amount to $32.

To summarize, if the customer buys exactly 6 kites from Kites-R-Fun and chooses to ship them to Alaska, the total cost will be $32, which is the same as buying 6 kites from Windy Kites with their shipping costs included.
