Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b

point a: (1, 1)

point b: (2, 3)

1. Find the slope of the equation

Equation for slope(mx): (y2- y1)/ (x2-x1)

(3-1)/(2-1)= 2

slope: 2

2. Pick any of the two point to find the "b" and plug in the coordinates of the point to find the y-intercept of the equation.

point a: y=1, x=1

y=mx+b

1=2(1) + b

b= -1

3. Plug the answers you found above into the slope-intercept form

Overall equation:

y=2x - 1

Shelby, Allen, and Denise printed their digital photos. Each requested the same size prints. Shelby paid $2.70 for 5 prints. All

Person: Number of prints Total Cost
Shelby 5 2.70
Allen 11 3.24
Denise 20 4.05

To solve for the variable cost:
11 - 5 = 6
3.24 - 2.70 = 0.54
0.54 / 6 = 0.09 per print

To solve for the fixed cost
0.09 x 5 = 0.45
2.70 - 0.45 = 2.25

y = 2.25 + 0.09x

y = 2.25 + 0.09(5) = 2.25 + 0.45 = 2.70
y = 2.25 + 0.09(11) = 2.25 + 0.99 = 3.24
y = 2.25 + 0.09(20) = 2.25 + 1.8 = 4.05
