Hint: Start with two lines that have a common perpendicular.Find the poles of those two lines, then draw an appropriate line through each pole, so on.
Suppose that the total cost function for an is linear, that the marginal cost is $54, and that the total cost for 50 players is $8700. Write the equation of this

cost function and then graph it.
As the potential across the resistor increased, the current through the resistor increased. If the change in current is proportional to the voltage, the data should be in a straight line and it should go through zero. In these two examples how close is the y-intercept to zero? Is there a proportional relationship between voltage and current? If so, write the equation for each run in the form potential = constant x current. (Use a numerical value for the constant.)
