Question

A tree removal company uses the model y = 250x + 60 to calculate the cost of a tree removal job based on how many trees are cut down. What is the meaning of the coefficient of x? *

Answer 1

x represents the number of trees that they will cut

Explanation:

Step one:

given that the linear function for the cost is given as

y = 250x + 60

This expression, when compared to the equation of a line is similar, and all parameters when compared are as follows.

Step two:

y=mx+c

y= the total cost of tree removal

m=the gradient, represent the cost of removing one try, that is the unit cost.

c= the constant term represents the base charges by the company.

x= represents the number of trees that they will cut
