Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete, as there are no resources to help calculate the required equation.
The general explanation is as follows:
Pick any two points from the graph or table; assume the points are:
[tex](x_1, y_1) = (2, 10)[/tex]
[tex](x_2, y_2) = (5, 16)[/tex]
Next, calculate the slope (m)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{16-10}{5-2}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{6}{3}[/tex]
[tex]m =2[/tex]
Next, calculate the equation using:
[tex]f(x) = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]f(x) = 2(x - 2) + 10[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]f(x) = 2x - 4 + 10[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = 2x +6[/tex]
When x = 0, we have:
[tex]f(0) = 2*0 +6[/tex]
[tex]f(0) = 0 +6[/tex]
[tex]f(0) = 6[/tex]
The above means that the shipping fee is #6
