Answer:
y - intercept = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + c
Where,
y = Total cost
x = additional cost
m = slope
c = y - intercept
y = 0.25x + 2.25
Relating with the above equation,
y - intercept = 2.25
Slope, m = 0.25
3(x-7)+8=-20
Multiply the bracket by 3
(3)(x)(3(-7)+8= -20
3x-21+8= -20
3x-13= -20
Move -13 to the other side. Sign changes from -13 to +13.
3x-13+13= -20+13
3x= -7
Divide by 3
3x/3= -7/3
x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3
Answer : x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3
