A loaf of bread of similar quality in the store costs $1.60. This is the rate for a loaf of bread (the slope). As there is no other cost, your beginning point (y-intercept) is zero. Write the linear equation y = mx + b for the total cost.

Answer:

The linear equation is
y=1.6x.

Explanation:

Given : A loaf of bread of similar quality in the store costs $1.60. This is the rate for a loaf of bread (the slope). As there is no other cost, your beginning point (y-intercept) is zero.

To find : Write the linear equation y = mx + b for the total cost.

Solution :

The linear equation for the total cost
y=mx+b

Where, m is the slope m=1.6

b is the y-intercept b=0

Substitute the value,


y=1.6x+0


y=1.6x

Therefore, the linear equation is
y=1.6x.
