Question

Mr. Roberts set up 25 tables in the convention center for the meeting. Based on the information in the graph, how many attendees will be able to sit in a chair at a table?

Answer 1

We can find the slope of the line with the points (0,0) and (2, 10).

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{10-0}{2-0}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

The equation would be y= 5x

If the number of tables is 25 then y=25*5=125. The answer is 125 attendees.
