The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost

$3750 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $150 for each ton of sugar transported.

Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating C to S and then graph your equation using the axes below.

c = 150s + 3750

im assuming this is representing point-slope form

so 150 is your slope and (0,3750) is your y-intercept
