Question 1062116: Please help me with this problem.
A vendor has learned that pricing caramel apples @ $1.75 sales will reach 105 apples per day. Raising the price to $2.75 will cause the sales to fall to 53 apples per day. Let y be the number of apples the vendor sells at x dollars each. Write a linear equation that models the number of apples sold per day when the price is x dollars.
y = 53+2.75x
