Question

To serve 1 person at a local restaurant it takes 10 minutes to serve 5 people it takes 18 minutes what is the point slope form

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-1=\frac{1}{2}(x-10)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------>the time in minutes

y----> the number of people

we know that

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$A(10,1),B(18,5)$

Find the slope

$m=\frac{5-1}{18-10}$

$m=\frac{1}{2}\frac{people}{minutes}$

with the slope m and the point A find the equation of the line

$y-1=\frac{1}{2}(x-10)$ -----> point slope form
