Answer 1

The table follows a linear pattern

The equation that represents the date on the table is C=0.25m + 8.95

What are linear patterns?

Linear patterns are equations that have constant rates or slopes

How to calculate the equation

From the table, we have the following ordered pair

(m,C) = (50,21.45) and (100, 33.95)

We start by calculating the slope using:

$s = \frac{C_2 -C_1}{m_2 -m_1}$

So, we have:

$s = \frac{33.95 - 21.45}{100 - 50}$

$s = \frac{12.5}{50}$

$s = 0.25$

The equation is then calculated using:

$C=s(m - m_1) + C_1$

So, we have:

$C=0.25(m - 50) + 21.45$

Open the bracket

$C=0.25m - 12.5 + 21.45$

$C=0.25m + 8.95$

Hence, the equation of the total cost is C=0.25m + 8.95
