Work Step by Step

(a) We can simply input at least $2$ any $x$ value to the equation and connect the points. It will be graph of this linear equation. But note $x$ is amount of toasters, so it cannot be negative ($x\geq0$) See the image above (b) The slope represents rate of change of his production cost with respect to toaster ovens produced per month. $y$-intercept represents his production cost if he produces no toaster oven.
