Answer:

Explanation:

First find the rate of change or slope denoted as m

m=(y2-y1)(x2-x1) we can find the slope with any two points.

m=(35000-25000)/(600-200)

m=10000/400

m=25

Now that we know the slope we can find the y intercept or original cost

C(n)=25n+b, using any point we can solve for b, I’ll use (200, 25000)

25000=25(200)+b

25000=5000+b

b=20000 so now we know the complete equation.

C(n)=25n+20000

Answer C.
