Question

Josie is planning for her graduation party and uses the function J(p) = 150 + 25p, where J(p) represents the total cost of the party and p is the number of people attending. To help budget for her graduation party, she wants to be able to determine the total cost for varying amounts of people who could attend. Which of the following graphs could Josie use to help her budget?

Answer 1

The graph of the cost equation is shown in the image below.

Which of the following graphs could Josie use to help her budget?

Sadly, we don't have the options, but we know that the graph that you must identify is the graph related to the given cost equation.

So we can make that graph, so you can look at it and then identify which is the correct option.

We need to graph the line:

J(p) = 150 + 25p

To do so, you need to find two points in the line, to do that, just evaluate the function in two values of p.

if p = 0, then:

j(0) = 150 + 25*0 = 150

if p = 1

j(1) = 150 + 25*1 = 175

Then we have the pairs (0, 150) and (1, 175).

Now you can find these two points on the coordinate axis and just connect them with a line, and there you have the graph of the cost equation.
