Question

In the function y = 10.00x + 35, y represents the cost of cabin lodging per occupant and x represents the number of occupants. How much does the cost increase for every occupant?

Answer 1

Answer:

$10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $y=10.00x+35$, where  y represents the cost of cabin lodging per occupant and x represents the number of occupants.

Since slope of a line is also known as unit rate, so the cost increase for every occupant will be equal to the slope of line.

We can see from our given expression that 10.00x represents the slope of line, so the cost increase for every occupant is $10.

Answer 2

Y = 10x + 35

if y is cost per occupant and x is occupants, then we can read the equation as such:

Cost is equal to 10 times number of occupants plus a 35$ fee

10 times the number of occupants is the part we are worried about

The cost increases by 10$ for every occupant
