Answer 2

hours open 3 = number of customers in the store 27 and

hours open 4 = number of customers in the store 32

Explanation:

To finish the table, remember that for every hour the store is open, 13 customers enter, and 8 customers leave, giving an overall change of 5 additional customers every hour.

Hours Open Number of Customers

In the Store

0 12

1 17

2 22

3 27

4 32

The 12 customers at the door when it opened represents the y-intercept and the 5 additional customers per hour represents the rate of change (or slope). The x-values represent the number of hours the store is open.

Therefore, the equation that represents the number of customers in the store is y = 5x + 12.
