Number of pages 50 100 150 200
Cost 1.55 2.25 2.95 3.65

Which equation gives the cost, y, in terms of the number of pages, x?

A.
y = 0.014x + 49.15

B.
y = 0.014x + 1.55

C.
y = 0.014x + 0.85

D.
y = 58.8x + 0.85


can someone please help and fast

Answer 1

First, you have to find the slope.
(3.65 -2.95 )/ (200-150) =m
And then you use like the point-slop form, you can just take a random point and plug it into the equation and solve.
For example, y-3.65= 0.014 (x-200) and you distribute 0.013x-2.8=y-3.65
Add 3.65 on both sides
y=0.014x +0.85

Sorry if this was confusing.. D:
