Answer:
y = 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
When the number of people increased by 10, the caterer charged an additional $80. Therefore, we estimate that the cost per person is $8. In order to verify:
$8/person * 15 people = $120. True. $8/person * 25 people = $200. True.
Therefore, if we let x represent the number of people being cater for and y represent the cost, the equation to model the situation is simply y = 8x.
hope it helps!
The format of a line equation is y = mx + b
When two lines are parallel, their 'm' variables are equal.
Knowing this, the unknown line equation, so far, would look like this:
y = 9x + b
Since we know that the line equation goes through the point (2, 7)
7 = 18 + b
b = -11
y = 9x - 11
Isn’t it h?
