Answer:
Yes, the cost per order is a linear function of the number of copies you order (up to 100).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let;
y = Total cost of order from one copy up to 100 copies or dependent variable
a = Cost of 50 copies or fixed intercept
x = Cost of 51 copies or more up to 100 copies or dependent variable, i.e. 51 = x 100
b = Coefficient of x = 1 - Discount rate = 1 - 15% = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
We can therefore represent have a function as follows:
y = a + bx ........................ (1)
Substituting b = 0.85 into equation (1), we have:
y = a + 0.85x ...................... (2)
Equation (2) implies that as b equal to 51 or more up to 100, y also increases. Equation (2) is therefore an example of linear function which will give an upward sloping straight line and can be rewritten as:
y = f(x) = a + 0.85x ................. (3)
Therefore, the cost per order is a linear function of the number of copies you order (up to 100).
