Answer:

y = 1.25x

y (total amount Trey pays) is the dependent variable and x (number of lures purchase) is the independent variable

y = kx → y = 1.25x

Answer:

y(x) = ($1.25/lure)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount be y(x) (which says, "y is a function of x"). Then

y(x) = ($1.25/lure)x.

Checking this out, we see that 1 lure will cost $1.25, 2 will cost $2.50, and so on. x represents the number of lures purchased.
