64. Retirement pay. The annual Social Security benefit of a retiree depends on the age at the time of retirement. The accompanying graph gives the annual benefit for persons retiring at ages 62 through 70 in the year 2005 or later (Social Security Administration, www.ssa.gov). What is the annual benefit for a person who retires at age 64? At what retirement age does a person receive an annual benefit of $11,600? Find the slope of each line segment on the graph, and interpret your results. Why do people who postpone retirement until 70 years of age get the highest benefit?

Decreasing price. World Auto uses the formula P = -3000n + 17,000 to determine the wholesale price
for a used Ford Focus, where P is the price in dollars and n is the age of the car in years. a) Find the price for a Focus that is 1, 2, or 3 years old. b) Find the slope and P-intercept for the line P = -3000n + 17,000. c) Interpret the slope and P-intercept.

94. Marginal revenue. A defense attorney charges her client $4000 plus $120 per hour. The formula R =120n + 4000 gives her revenue in dollars for n hours of work. What is her revenue for 100 hours of work? What is her revenue for 101 hours of work? By how much did the one extra hour of work increase the revenue? (The increase in revenue is called the marginal revenue for the 101st hour.)
