Y = mx + b
m is your slope AKA rate of change
b is the y intercept.
from the graph we can see that the y intercept (b) is 15. (look at the y axis and see what point the line crosses on the y, here it is 15, in-between 10 and 20)
slope is rate of change. to figure this out remember slope = rise over run:
so pick two points. how much does one point rise after the other point you picked? In the graph it rises 1 square so rise = 1
Now looking at the same two points, how far away from each other are they on the x axis? Looking at the graph they are 2 squares away from each other. so run = 2
Now plug these numbers into the rise over run formula:
Now we have everything we need to put into our formula for a line:
For number 16 you should get:

Answer:
To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we calculate volume of the rectangular-shaped sandbox:
We know that density of sand is 100 pounds per cubic foot. Then, to fill the sand box that has a volume of 8 cubic foot, we calculate by rule 3:
1cubic foot..............100 pounds
8 cubic foot.............x pounds
We will need 800 pounds of sand to fill the sandbox, then we can calculate by rule 3 the number of bags needed and next the total cost of them:
50 pounds.......1bag
800 pounds.....x bags
To calculate the cost:
1 bag ..................$3.50
16 bags.................$x
To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56
