Question 1013653: A seafood shop charges the following to choose your own lobster based on weight.
Weight. Cost
1 lb 4.50
2 6.25
3 8.00
4 9.75
What equation could be used to determine the price of lobster (y) given the weight (x) in pounds?

You can see that for each pound the price goes up 1.75, right? Well, that is your slope...if you take 1.75 off the one-pound price you get 2.75...that is the price just for buying anything...thus the equation would be
y = 1.75x + 2.75
