Question

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!!

Answer 1

The general form of the linear equation is,
      y = mx + b

where y is the dependent variable, m is the slope, x is the independent variable, and b is the y-intercept. 

Substituting the known values,

1. y = 2.6x

where y is the total cost and x is the number of gallons purchased.

2. y = 1.6x + 2

where y is the total weight of the bucket and the golf balls and x is the number of golf balls inside the bucket. 

3. P = 2x - (110/150)(x)

Simplifying,

   P = 19x/15

where P is the profit and x is the number of pounds of tomatoes brought to the market

4. y = 40x + 80

where y is the total number of enrolled students and x is the number of years

5. y = mx + b

where y is the total number of charge, m is the cost per person, x is the total number of persons and b is the flat fee
