Maths Cheat Sheet Linear Equation

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Cost, Revenue, Profit

The profit is the difference between the revenue (sales) and the cost, if x units are produced and sold, we can write the following: P(x) = R(x) - C(x) Where: P(x) = profit from sale of x units. R(x) = revenue from sale of x units C(x) = cost of production and sale of x units Revenue = (price per unit)(­number of units)= p.q The cost is composed of two parts, fixed costs and variable costs: • Fixed costs such as rent, utilit­ies... remain constant regardless of the number of units produced. • Variable costs are those directly related to the number of units produced. In general: Cost = Variable costs + fixed costs • Break-Even Point: the point where revenue equals cost R(x) = C(x).
 

Demand and Supply

 
You learned that where the line crosses the vertical axis is called an intercept.
(inter­cepts are easy to deduce: set x = 0, then figure out what y will be, e.g. in this case,
when you set x = 0, y = 3. So the intercept is 3 on the y axis).
You also learned that the line also has what is called a slope. The slope is roughly
defined as "Rise over Run".
Slope = Rise/Run
