The slope intercept formula in math form is y=mx+b. The slope in this case is m and determines how much increase there is in y from an increase in x. In cost-volume profit, the formula is profit-margin per unit times the number of units, less fixed costs. Here, fixed cost are essentially a negative value for b in the basic formula. When profits are $100 and fixed costs are $200 if the company sells 50 units, what is the slope of the line that is created?
