Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Let the equation of the linear function representing number of party guests (c) and total cost (p) is in the form of c = mp + b

m = Slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Choose the two ordered pairs from the table (3, 274) and (7, 306).

Slope of the function 'm' =
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

m =
(306-274)/(7-3)

m = 8

Since, equation of a line passing through (x', y') and slope m is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Therefore, equation of a line passing through (3, 274) and slope = 8,

y - 274 = 8(x - 3)

y - 274 = 8x - 24

y = 8x + 274 - 24

y = 8x + 250

Since, y = p and x = c

Therefore, p = 8c + 250 will be the equation.

Option (A) is the answer.
