Question

The cost of a field trip is $275 for the bus plus $4 per student to enter the event. write an equation where c equals cost and s equals students.

Answer 1

The equation of a line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case you know that "c" represents the cost total of the field trip in dollars and "s" the number of students.

Knowing that the total cost is $275 for the bus plus $4 per student , you can write the following equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form, using the variables "c" and "s":

$c=4s+275$

You can identify that the slope of the line and the y-intercept are the shown below:

$\begin{gathered} m=4 \\ b=275 \end{gathered}$

The answer is:

$c=4s+275$
