Answer:

C = 6.75n + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the cost of renting the party room can be written in the form;

C= mn+k ......i

Where C = cost

n = number of people

Substituting the 2 cases into the equation we have,

Case 1

117.5 = 10m + k ......1

Case 2

151.25 = 15m + k .....2

Subtracting eqn 1 from 2 we have

151.25 - 117.50 = 15m - 10m

5m = 33.75

m = 33.75/5 = 6.75

Substituting m = 6.75 into eqn 1, we have

117.50 = 10(6.75) + k

k = 117.5 - 67.50

k = 50

Therefore, rewriting the eqn i, we have

C = 6.75n + 50

Find the equation of the line using the exact numbers
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.25x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either just read off the slope m = -0.25 and the intersection with the vertical n = -6 or you form a system of equations from points you choose on the graph. For example:

(0,-6);(4,-7)

The general equation for a line:

y = m*x + n

The two points on the graph form a system of two equations:

1. -6 = m*0 + n

2. -7 = m*4 + n

You can read off n right away fro equation 1:

n = -6

Plugging n into equation 2:

-7 = m*4 - 6 => -1 = m*4 => m = -1/4
