Answer: y=0.95x+8.35

Step-by-step explanation: Hi there.

We can use the equation y=mx+b, where

y=the result (in this case the cost of the pizza)

m=the slope (how much each topping costs)

x=input value (how many kinds of toppings the pizza has)

b=initial value (how much the plain pizza costs)

The toppings cost $0.95, and the value of the plain pizza is $8.35

So the equation is: y=0.95x+8.35.

Have a nice day! :)
