Mrs. Mitchell decided to grade her projects by giving each student 50 points if they turned in a project and then an additional 5 points for each part they got correct. After looking through some of the projects, she decided to give the students 7 points for each correct section. If Mrs. Mitchell wrote a function to describe the situation, what would change?

Let
c be the amount of parts the student answered correctly. Suppose that
s(c) is a function between
c and the score of a student's project. As the student initially receives a fixed
50 points for turning the project in and
5 points for each correct part, the function is initially:


s(c) = 5c+50

When the students receive
7 points for each correct part, the coefficient of
c changes, as the amount of points received per correct answer increases. Thus:


s(c) = 7c+50.
