Question 1053330: The manager of a restaurant found that the cost to produce 200 omelets is $186.11, while the cost to produce 1000 omelets is $786.11. Find the linear function of the form f(x)=mx+b, whose input, x, is the number of omelets produced and whose output, f(x), is the corresponding cost. Then use your function to determine the cost of producing 1700 omelets.
