A few symbols are missing but will try to solve:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Base cost = 4050. This is constant. \n" ); document.write( "Additional cost = Amount of sugar (x) * 150\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let y represent total cost, and x represent amount of sugar.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total cost = 150 tons of sugar + Base cost \n" ); document.write( "y = 150x + 4050 \n" ); document.write( "The graph is difficult to properly visualize however it will pass through the y axis at (0,4050), and for every additional x value will raise its y value by 150 \n" ); document.write( "e.g for x = 1, 2, 3 y = 4300, 4450, 4600 \n" ); document.write( " |
