Determine whether the rate of change is constant or variable.

A charter bus service charges $125 plus $8.50 for each passenger p, represented by the equation C=8.5p+125. What is the charge for the following number of passengers: 50,100,150,200,and 250? Graph the equation and tell whether it is linear.

to find the charges just plug in p=50, 100 etc and calculate

cwrw238 · Answer

to find the charges just plug in p=50, 100 etc and calculate

cwrw238 · Answer

the equation is linear  (because its of first degree   ( p   not p^2, p^3 .... etc)

anonymous · Answer

So it's like 8.5(50)+125=550 which is C?
