Question 200671: Suppose that a household's monthly water bill (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water the household uses (in hundreds of cubic feet, HCF). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of 1.75 . See the figure below.
If the monthly bill for 17 HCF is$22.76 , what is the monthly bill for 21 HCF?
