If you hire the Sod Guys to lay 3000 square feet of sod, it will cost $8300. If you get them to lay 1560 square feet it will cost $6540. ---------------------------------------------
Two Points: (3000,8300) and (1560,6540)
--------
slope = (6540-8300)/(1560-3000) = 1760/1440 = 11/9
------
Form: y = mx+b
8300 = (11/9)(3000) = b
b = 4633,33
--------
Equation:
cost = (11/9)(area)+4633.33
----
How much will it cost to get 3250 square feet?
c(3250) = (11/9)3250 + 4633.33
c(3250) = $8605.55
