Question 1173590: A party planner charges $5,775 for a formal party for 100 people and $3,025 for 50 people.
Write an equation modeling this data. (Let x represent the number of people, and let y represent the total charge in dollars.)
y =
What does the slope represent in this model?
1.The slope represents the difference in cost between a party of 50 people and 2.a party of 100 people.
3. The slope represents the cost per person.
4.The slope represents the cost for a party of 0 people.
5. The slope represents the cost for a party of 50 people.
6. The slope represents the cost for a party of 100 people.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! (100, 5775) and (50, 3025)
slope is 2750/50=55 and it is the cost per person, $55.
point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope and (x1, y1) point
y-3025=55(x-50)
y=55x+$275, where y is the cost in dollars and x the number of people.
