For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable. We have then: x: every 50 pounds transported y: total cost We now write the equation that models the problem: Where, 100: slope of the line representing 100 $ for each 50 pounds transported 1200: cutting point with the axis y that represents a cost to rent the truck Answer: An equation that represents the transport cost for every 50 pounds of cold cuts transported is:
Base on the question where as ask to choose among the following equations that represents the transport cost for every 50 pounds of cold cuts transported, and in my own calculation, I would say that the answer would be y = 1200 + 100x. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
