Store 1 Store 2 f(x)=-.44x+13.62 g(x)= .51x+11.14
The slope for store one, since it is negative, goes down which means as years progress, the store is losing profit. The slope for store two, since it is positive, goes up which means as years progress, profit goes up. In summary, store one starts out great, but as years progress they lose more profit each year, while store two starts out in lower numbers, but as years progress, they gain more profit.
(F+G)X: f(x)=-.44x+13.62+g(x)=.51x+11.14 (f+g)x= .07x+24.76
The adding of the two equations means that the stores are merging. This new equation represents that if the two
