Students are shown a graph that simultaneously plots cost and revenue lines. They are asked to identify the break-even point.

They are asked to give the x- and y- coordinate values.

The graph is randomised, but it is set up so that the point of intersection lies on gridlines.

The graph shows (in red) the cost of producing {items} and (in black) the revenue from selling them.

The number of units is shown on the $x$-axis and the production cost in dollars is shown on the $y$-axis.

\n

The break even point occurs where the two lines meet.

\n

This is at {x} on the horizontal axis, and {y} on the vertical axis.

\n

So {x} units need to be sold in order to break even, leading to a revenue of \\${y}, costs of \\${y} and a profit of \\$0.
