the sugar-sweet company is going to transport its sugar in to Market it will cost $6,500 to rent trucks plus $150 for each ton of sugar transported the total cost C in dollars for transporting tons is given by the following​

Respuesta :

Answer:

$ 3750  = truck rental;   $125 per ton of sugar transported

C is cost;  S is number of tons transported

Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b

C = 125S + $3750

This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only

you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)

As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:

(1, 3875)  (2, 4000)  (3, 4125)  etc.  

This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
