Answer:
Cost of pizza = 1.25x + 11.99
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Toppings cost the same and the pizza orders are of same size :
Alto ordered for 3 Toppings + pizza = 15.74
Brian ordered for 2 toppings + pizza = 14.49
Hence the cost per topping and pizza could be found :
Cost per topping :
15.74 - 14.49 = 1.25
Hence, slope = 1.25
The intercept, c represents the cost of pizza alone :
Cost of pizza + 2 Toppings = 14.49
Cost per topping = 1.25
Cost of pizza = 14.49 - 2(1.25)
Cost of pizza = 14.49 - 2.50 = 11.99
Expressing in slope - intercept form :
y = mx + c
m = slope ; c = intercept
Cost of pizza = 1.25x + 11.99
