A daycare facility charges a fee for every minute that a parent is late after the facility's published closing time. The table represents the fee, y, which is dependent on the number of minutes late

X | Y
5 | 32
8 | 50
11 | 68

Which of the following linear equations represents the situation?

A: y= 3x + 22
B: y= 6x +36
C: y= 6x +2
D: y= 24x + 36

(The answer is not A btw. :) )

Respuesta :

Answer:

Y=6x+2


Step-by-step explanation:

6×5=30+2=32

6×8=48+2=50

6×11=66+2=68



Option C will be the correct option.

   Given in the question,

  • Fee charged is given by 'y'.
  • Number of minutes late is given by 'x'.

 If the fee charged is plotted on y-axis and number of minutes late on x-axis of the graph,

(5, 32)and (8, 50) will be two points on linear graph,

y = mx + b

Here, m = Slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Since, slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_1,y_2)[/tex] is given by the expression,

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Therefore, slope of the line passing through the points (5, 32) and (8, 50) will be,

Slope = [tex]\frac{50-32}{8-5}[/tex]

          = 6

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = 6x + b

Since, this line passes through a point (11, 68),

68 = 6(11) + b

b = 68 - 66

b = 2

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = 6x + 2

     Hence, Option C will be the correct option.
