Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the situation shown in the image

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y = mx + b

On Phill's Frozen Yogurt Shop, Phill charges $3.00 for a medium cup of frozen yogurt and $0.50 for each topping.

Let's call x=number of toppings selected for the yogurt.

Since each topping costs $0.50, the x toppings cost 0.50x. The total cost (y) is calculated as:

y = 0.50x + 3

For Frank's Pizzeria, the cost (y) of a medium pizza is

y = 10 + 1.75x

Where x is the number of toppings.

To write this equation in slope-intercept form, we only need to rearrange it as follows:

y = 1.75x + 10
