If I know I spend $5 on supplies and sell the lemonade at $0.50 per glass, determine the number of glasses I must sell to break even. After you find the number of glasses tell me what the x-intercept, y-intercept and slope represent in the function you determined.

10 glasses, X-intercept = 10, Y-intercept=5 and function Y=5-0.5x

Explanation:

5 = 0.5x

x = 10

the function : Y = 5 - 0.5x

Y-intercept (SET X=0)

Y = 5 - 0.5 (0)

Y = 5

X-intercept (SET Y=0)

(0) = 5 - 0.5x

0.5x = 5

x = 10
