Line segment A starts at (0, 80) and ends at (28000, 80). The equation is [MATH]y=80[/MATH].
Line segment B starts at (28000, 80). It has a rise of -2, and a run of 1000; hence a slope of -1/500. This equation is [MATH]y=\frac{-x}{500}+136[/MATH]. This segment ends when y becomes negative.
The two lines resemble a hockey stick. Can these two equations be concatenated into one neat and tidy equation, and how would it be done?
