Question 185665: The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $6525 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $225 for each ton of sugar transported.
Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating C to S , and then graph your equation using the axes below.
Answer by feliz1965(151) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If C = total cost and S = represent the amount of sugar (in tons).
We can write a linear equation:
C(S) = $6525 + $225(S)
Let C(S) = y and S = x in the form of points that must be graphed on the coordinate plane.
One point is (S,C(S)) = (x,y).
Set up a table for S and C(S).
Select different values for S to plug into the equation above.
I would select 4 different values for S to plug into the equation.
Simplify equation for each value to get 4 points that you will graph on the coordinate plane.
This is a linear equation. The word linear comes from the word line. So, your graph will be a straight line.
