Answer:

The cost for a unit square yard is given as:

Company A = $101.35 per square yard

Company B charges $2.05 per square yard

Company B has the greatest slope. The line for Company B is steeper as a result of this.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A:

C = 1.35y + 100

The cost for a unit square yard is given as:

C = 1.35(1) + 100

= $101.35

Company B charges $2.05

Part 2

Company B has the greatest slope. The line for Company B is steeper as a result of this.
