You can put this solution on YOUR website! A few symbols are missing but will try to solve:
Base cost = 4050. This is constant.
Additional cost = Amount of sugar (x) * 150
Let y represent total cost, and x represent amount of sugar.
Total cost = 150 tons of sugar + Base cost
y = 150x + 4050
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
e.g for x = 1, 2, 3 y = 4300, 4450, 4600
