Answer

$q=-50x+800$ $R=-50x^{2}+800x$

Work Step by Step

We are given data points $(x,q)$ $(8,400)$ and $(4, 600).$ The line through these points has an equation $q-q_{1}=\displaystyle \frac{q_{2}-q_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})$ $q=\displaystyle \frac{200}{-4}(x-8)+400$ $q=-50x+400+400$ $q=-50x+800$ $R=xq$ $R=-50x^{2}+800x$
