x = print yearbooks

y = digital yearbooks

 

60x+15y=4740|60x15y=60x+4740|:15y=4x+316

 

The line is  y=4x+316

 

 y-intercept ?x=0yintercept=40+316yintercept=316316 digital yearbooks, no print yearbooks 

 

 x-intercept ? y=00=4xintercept+316|+4xintercept4xintercept=316|:4xintercept=7979 print yearbooks, no digital yearbooks
