Answer: 30$
Explanation:
To find the slope of the equation, you can use the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Plugging the points the question gives us we can get:
(205-100)/(5-2)
= 105 / 3
= 35
Plugging this information along with a point into the formula y = mx + b:
100 = 35*2 + b
100 = 70 + b
b = 30
y = 35x + 30
To double check this is correct:
y = 35 * 5 + 30
y = 175 + 30
y = 205
(5,205) is a point therefore y = 35x + 30 is the equation
Because the x of the graph represents the number of months, the initial membership fee would be when x = 0.
y = 35*0 + 30
y = 30$
