A manufacturer of graphing calculators has determined that 10,000 calculators per week will be sold at a price of $85 per calculator. At a price of $80, it is estimated that 12,000 calculators will be sold. Determine a linear function that predicts the number of calculators y that will be sold per week at a price of x dollars. =-400x+44,000 Use this model to predict the number of calculators that will be sold at a price of $75.
