Answer:
slope m=0.5, y-intercept b=5, the price of a 0 page book starts off at 5 and increases 0.5 every 50 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
point slope formula
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
choose a point on the line, I chose (2.00,6.00)
and b is the y-intercept at (0,5)
then plug those numbers in
[tex]6.00 = m2.00 + 5.00[/tex]
simplify & isolate the variable
[tex]6.00 - 5.00 = m2.00 + 5.00 - 5.00 [/tex]
[tex]1 = m2[/tex]
[tex]1 \div 2 = m2 \div 2[/tex]
solve for m
[tex]0.1 = m[/tex]
the y intercept is were the line crosses the y axis.
the y axis represents cost in dollars, the x axis represents number of pages
