Four friends went out to breakfast. Two of them ordered omelets for $5.49 each, and the other two ordered French toast for $6.29
each. Each breakfast included orange juice. They decided to split the bill evenly, except that Jill offered to leave a $3.00 tip with her payment. How much did Jill end up paying for breakfast?
You add up 5.49 and 6.29 and get 11.78. Then you would divide that by 4 and get 2.945. If Jill were to pay the tip then they would have to pay three dollars would add three dollars onto their 2.945 and they would have to pay 5.945 instead of 2.945.
The rate shown in your graph is 3. (rise:run = 3:1) An equation with a lesser rate will have an x-coefficient that is less than 3. The x-coefficients in your answer choices appear to be ...
