Suppose the distributor charges the artist a $50.00 cost for distribution, and the streaming services pay $5.00 per unit. (Note: One unit = one thousand streams)
Model the profit for the total number of streams by answering the questions below:
1. Use the cost for distribution to build the y-intercept. What is the y-intercept?
2. Use the payment per unit to build the slope. What is the slope?
3. What is the equation of this line?
4. After how many streams will the distributor charges be paid?
5. How many streams would it take to profit $950,000?
