Answer:

$125 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 2 years from 2015 to 2017, the spending on lunches increased by ...

$800 -550 = $250

That is an average per year of ...

$250/(2 yr) = $125/yr . . . . average dollar increase per year

_____

Additional comment

For costs, it is often true that they follow an exponential curve, not a linear one. Ed's spending increased by a factor of 800/550 = 16/11 in the two years, so an average percentage increase of √(16/11) -1 = 20.6% per year.

(x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2

this equation is a derivative of the equation of a circle

x^2 + y^2 = r^2
This is from the origin. If we move the in x or y then the radius will change positions in x or y

with h = -3 and k = 1

we can plug in each set of numbers and solve.

we find Z to be on the circle edge!
