Hi,
The cost for an exterminator to treat a 1500 sq ft home is $65.00 and the cost for a 3000 sq ft home is $80.00.
(3000, 80)
(1500, 65) Slope m = 15/1500 = 1/100
In general: y = mx + b
|| Where C is the Cost and A the area of the home
|Using (3000,80) to solve for b
80 = 30 + b
50 = b, the y-intercept

C = = $71
