Question

A camp charges a fee of $625 per month for one child and a certain amount more per month for each additional child. Use the graph to write an equation in slope intercept form to represent the amount a family with x additional children would pay

Answer 1

Its will be y=225x+625

Answer 2

y = Ax + 625

Explanation:

Since charges is $625 per child

let the additional amount paid for each additional charge be A

if a family has x additional children

the amount such family will pay is Ax + 625

which is in the form of the slope intercept equation where y = mx + b

The amount is then same as:

m is the slope; equalized to A and the extra amount paid for each additional child

b is intercept and equalized to 625

x is the total number of additional children each family has

y is the total amount each family pays
