Question 93569: I have to find a real-life application of a linear function. State the application, give the equation of the linear function, and state what the x and y in the application represent. Choose at least two values of x to input into your function and find the corresponding y for each. State, in words, what each x and y means in terms of your real-life application. Please see the following example. Do not use any version of this example in your own post. You may use other variables besides x and y, such as x and W.
I have honestly spent 16 hours trying to figure out how to do this, and I'm extremely confused. I am a 4.0 student until it comes to Algebra!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use Google with the search phrase "linear function applications". You will find
plenty of application examples.
