(3 points) When sold for $259,000.00, Ferraris have an annual supply of 6758 vehicles and an annual demand of 6691 vehicles. When their price increases to $279,000.00, the annual supply increases to 6913, and the demand decreases to 6010 billion gallons. (a) Assuming that the supply and demand equations are linear, Afind the supply and demand equations. Supply Equation p = Demand Equationp (Note: The equations should be in the form p = mg + b where p denotes the price (in dollars) and q denotes the quantity. The slope and y-intercept should be accurate to two decimal places). (b) Find the Equilibrium price and quantity. Equilibrium price p = Equilibrium quantity q = (Note: The equilibrium price and quantity should be accurate to two decimal places, and the equilibrium price should include a dollar sign).
