Since we are already given the equation, we can already solve for the given problems above. Let us start with part 2 so we can easily answer part 1. Part 2: the cost to get started before any books are printed. Using the equation, x = 0. So, y =1250+25(0) y= 1250 So the cost to get started before any books are printed is 1250. Now, to part 1, let us say, only 1 book is printed. So x=1 y = 1250 +25(1) y= 1250 +25 y = 1275 So, for 1 book is 1275, and no book is 1250. This gives us the answer that the change in the total cost for each book printed would be $25. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
