1. **State the problem:** We are given two payment options for hockey players based on goals scored. We need to find missing values, calculate payments, draw graphs, and analyze the payment options.
2. **Formulas:**
- Option A payment: $$\text{Payment}_A = 4600 + 250 \times \text{goals}$$
- Option B payment: $$\text{Payment}_B = 4000 + 400 \times \text{goals}$$
3. **Calculate missing value P (Option A at 4 goals):**
$$P = 4600 + 250 \times 4 = 4600 + 1000 = 5600$$
4. **Calculate missing value Q (Option B at 6 goals):**
$$Q = 4000 + 400 \times 6 = 4000 + 2400 = 6400$$
5. **Option B payment if 0 goals scored:**
$$4000 + 400 \times 0 = 4000$$
6. **Draw line graph for Option A:**
- Plot points using formula for goals 0 to 8.
- Example points: (0,4600), (2,5100), (4,5600), (7,6350), (8,6600).
7. **Find goals for R5350 in Option A:**
Solve $$4600 + 250x = 5350$$
$$250x = 750$$
$$x = 3$$
So, 3 goals needed.
8. **Compare payments at 5 goals:**
- Option A: $$4600 + 250 \times 5 = 4600 + 1250 = 5850$$
- Option B: $$4000 + 400 \times 5 = 4000 + 2000 = 6000$$
Option B pays more.
9. **Find goals where payments are equal:**
Solve $$4600 + 250x = 4000 + 400x$$
$$600 = 150x$$
$$x = 4$$
At 4 goals, payments are equal at $$5600$$.
10. **Name of intersection point:**
This point is called the **point of intersection** or **equilibrium point** where both payment options yield the same amount.
**Final answers:**
- P = 5600
- Q = 6400
- Option B payment at 0 goals = 4000
- Goals for R5350 in Option A = 3
- At 5 goals, Option B pays more
- Equal payment at 4 goals = 5600
- Intersection point is the equilibrium point
