Chapter 4, Problem 28LOR

For Questions 28–37, refer to the following: From years of experience, a bagel shop has determined that at a price of , they will sell $\mathrm{x\; <mo>\; =\; <mn>\; 450\; </mn>\; </mo>}$ bagels each week. If they lower the price to , they will sell $\mathrm{x\; <mo>\; =\; <mn>\; 550\; </mn>\; </mo>}$ bagels each week.

Assuming this relationship is linear, write an equation that relates the price, p, to the number of bagels, x, that will be sold. Your equation should look like .
