Question

The total pounds of garbage produced per year in a growing housing community since 1995 can be modeled by f(x) = 50x + 5200

Answer 1

See the explanation bellow

Explanation:

Given data

We are told that the total pounds of garbage is modeled by

f(x) = 50x + 5200

comparing the above expression with the equation of a line

y= mx+c,

we can see that

f(x) represents y, which the total garbage collected in pounds

m is 50 which is the amount of garbage in pounds collected per year

x is the number of years

and 5200 is the already existing garbage in pounds
