Abaseball team plays in a stadium that holds 58,000 spectators. with ticket prices at $12, the average attendance had been 23,000. when ticket prices were lowered to $10, the average attendance rose to 29,000.
(a) find the demand function (price p as a function of attendance x), assuming it to be linear.
(b) how should ticket prices be set to maximize revenue? (round your answer to the nearest cent.)

a) p = -x/3000 + 19 2/3
b) $9.83
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The 2-point form of the equation for a line can be used with the two given points. The attendance is said to be the independent variable.
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) + y1
Here "y" is the price (p), and "x" is the attendance, so we have ...
p = (10 -12)/(29000 -23000)(x -23000) +12
p = -1/3000(x -23000) +12
p = -x/3000 + 19 2/3 . . . . price as a function of attendance
__
b) Revenue is the product of attendance and price. We can find the attendance associated with maximum revenue, then find the corresponding price.
R(x) = x·p = x(-x/3000 +19 2/3)
This has zeros at x=0 and x=3000(19 2/3) = 59,000. The maximum revenue corresponds to attendance halfway between these values, at x = 29,500. The demand function tells us the ticket price should be ...
p = -29500/3000 +19 2/3 = 9.83 . . . . dollars
Comment on the problem working
I might have written the "demand function" to use price as the independent variable. Then the price is what you know when you find the maximum revenue; you don't have to do an extra step to find it.
x = 3000(19 2/3 -p)
xp = 3000p(19 2/3 -p) is maximized at p = (19 2/3)/2 = 9 5/6 ≈ 9.83

y=mx+b is the equation of a line;
m=slope , b= y-intercept
m= -3/2 ; so we have : y= (-3/2)x+b
We are give a set of points which it passes through, we can simply plug them in:
1 = (-3/2)(4)+b (4 is the x and 1 is the y)
We get 1 = -6 +b 7=b
our final equation is : y=(-3/2)x+7
