Answer 1

Answer:

EZ Excavation: y = 24.5x

Happy Hauling Service: y = 25x

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Equation for EZ Excavation:

This can be written in slope-intercept form, y = kx

Where k is the unit rate/slope/constant of proportionality

y = cost

x = dirt

Thus,

k = y/x

Using any given pair of values from the table, say, (8, 196),

k = 196/8

k = 24.5

To write the equation, substitute k = 24.5 into y = kx

Thus:

y = 24.5x

✔️Equation for Happy Hauling Service:

This can be written in slope-intercept form, y = kx

Where k is the unit rate/slope/constant of proportionality

y = cost

x = dirt

Thus,

k = y/x

Using the coordinate of any point on the line, say (1, 25),

k = 25/1

k = 25

To write the equation, substitute k = 25 into y = kx

Thus:

y = 25x
