Suppose a certain outlet chain selling appliances has found that for one brand of home theater, the monthly demand is 270 when the price is $900. However, when the price is $860, the monthly demand is 330. Assume that the demand function for this system is linear. Let p represent price (in dollars) and q represent quantity. State the two ordered pairs in the form  (q, p).  List your answers from least q to greatest q.   (q, p) = (?, ?) (q, p) = (?, ?) Calculate the slope m of the line connecting the two points. m = ???       Write the linear equation for the demand function. Use p for price (in dollars) and q for quantity.

Question
Suppose a certain outlet chain selling appliances has found that for one brand of home theater, the monthly demand is 270 when the price is $900. However, when the price is $860, the monthly demand is 330. Assume that the demand function for this system is linear. Let p represent price (in dollars) and q represent quantity.
State the two ordered pairs in the form 
(q, p).
 List your answers from least q to greatest q.
 
(q, p) = (?, ?)
(q, p) = (?, ?)
Calculate the slope m of the line connecting the two points.
m = ???
 
 
 
Write the linear equation for the demand function. Use p for price (in dollars) and q for quantity.
