Question

Medal + Fan if you can help me with this question!
3. A coffee shop pays Coffee Delivery Company A, a certain price for each disposable cup it orders plus a weekly delivery charge to remain on the driver’s delivery route. The cups are purchased in increments of 500. To quickly determine how much the coffee shop will be spending on cups before their arrival, the owner created the following table:

Answer 1

Cups Ordered Price
0 $7
500 $25.50
1,000 $44
1,500 $62.50
2,000 $81
2,500 $99.50
3,000 $118
4.
A. The price of the cups, p(x), is a function of the number of x cups ordered. Using the table, determine the average rate of change for the first 1,000 cups ordered and then for all 3,000 cups ordered. What does this tell you about the function?

Answer 2

p(x) = 1000x + 7?

Answer 5

$1000 per cup of coffee? :O no no that's a bit steep.
I had answered this question in quite a bit of detail a few months ago if you'd like to take a look. We kinda skipped over this first part though.

slope formula:\[\Large\rm m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]Using these points maybe: \(\Large\rm (0,7), \qquad (1000,44)\)
