An economist believes there is a linear relationship between the marketprice of a particular commodity and the number of units suppliers of thecommodity are willing to bring to the marketplace. Two sampleobservations indicate that when the price equals $15 per unit, the weekly supply equals 30,000 units; and when the price equals $20 per unit, theweekly supply equals 48,000 units
(i) If price per unit, p, is plotted on the horizontal axis and the quantitysupplied q is plotted on the vertical axis, determine the slope-intercept formof the equation of the line which passes through these two points.(ii) Interpret the slope of the equation in this application.(iii) Predict the weekly supply if the market price equals $25 per unit.
