Answer:

The equation of line will be
y=x+2.75

Explanation:

Given admission and
6 sample costs $
8.75

And admission and
9 samples costs $
11.75

Let cost of the sample is
y and number of sample is
x

Now, we will find the slope of line


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\m=(11.75-8.75)/(9-6)\\\\m=(3)/(3)\\\\m=1

Plug slope as
1 and point
(6,8.75) in the equation we get,


(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\\y-8.75=1(x-6)\\y-8.75=x-6\\y=x-6+8.75\\y=x+2.75

The equation of line will be
y=x+2.75
