The linear model of this case takes the form:
y = a(x-b) + k
<span>The cost of having a package delivered has a base fee of $9.70
this is "k" >>>>> k=9.7 (fixed amount of fee)
THEN
</span>
<span>Every pound over 5 lbs cost an additional $0.46 per pound
that means: 0.46(x-5)
in other words, if the package weighs foe example 9 pounds, then 9-5=4, it will cost 0.46*4 for these 4 extra pounds
Finally we have the linear form of this: C = 0.46 (W - 5) + 9.7
</span>
The correct answer is 17 what i did was plug in 17 where ever you see x so x2 would be 17x2 an then plus the 5 gives u 39 3x 17x3=51 51+10=61 now add the totals 61 plus 39 gives u 100
B is dilated by a factor of 5
