Expert Solution
part a

By bartleby rules only first three subparts have been answered

Given that p is the price per blivet and number of blivets to sell is q

Price for an order of 1 blivet is $24 and that for an order of 13 blivets is $18. 

Since p is a function of q, therefore, 

p1=24p13=18

So, the line passes through the points (1,24) and (13,18). 

Slope of the line is 

m=24-181-13=-612=-12

Therefore, equation of the line is

p-1=-12q-24p=-0.5q+13

Hence, p can be expressed as p=-0.5q+13
