Question

Joseph is signing up for a gym membership with a one-time fee to join and then a monthly fee to remain a member. Let C represent the total cost of the gym membership over t months. A graph of C is shown below. Write an equation for C then state the slope of the graph and determine its interpretation in the context of the problem.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is generally given as;

`y=mx+b`

where m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept of the line

For the sake of the given problem, we'll use C for y and t for x. So slope-intercept equation will be written as;

`C=mt+b`

We'll use the bel
