Technology reports the intersection \((2.667,~15.333)\) for two cost models, where \(x\) is months and \(y\) is dollars. Interpret the \(x\)-value, shared \(y\)-value, and equality.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Technology reports coordinates, but the context supplies their meaning. We’ll map the first coordinate to the horizontal variable and its unit, map the second to the output variable and its unit, and preserve the reported precision because no new rounding is requested. Since the point is an intersection, that second coordinate is a shared model value rather than a difference between the models.
