Question

Chris is opening candy store. He is charging $4 for a small box of candy and then $1.25 for each additional box. What is the slope and y-intercept for this situation?

Answer 1

Answers:

Slope = 1.25

y intercept = 4

Explanation:

The slope is the rate of change. In this case, it's the price of getting an extra box.  

The y intercept is the starting cost assuming that everyone has to get at least one small box of candy.
