The profits for a business at the start of the new year can be modeled by P(I) = 325I + 5000, where I is the number of items sold and P(I) is the profit in dollars. Give an interpretation of the parameters 325 and 5000.
325: For every item sold, profits increase by $325
5000: The starting profit for the year was $5000 (0 items have been sold)
