Answer: y= 40x-10 , where = number of lawns.
Step-by-step explanation:
In linear equation y= mx+b with one variable x, m= slope , b= y-intercept.
[Slope rate of change of y with respect to x, y-intercept = initial value of y at x=0]
Given: Peter cuts lawns and makes $40 per lawn.
let x = number of lawns
i.e. slope = $40
He spends $10/day in work expenses.
i.e. y-intercept = -10 [for each day]
So equation becomes : y= 40x-10 , where = number of lawns.
