How do you calculate the total cost of a service with a fixed fee and a variable charge?

Back

The total cost can be calculated using the equation: Total Cost = Fixed Fee + (Variable Charge per unit * Number of units).

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0; it represents the starting value in a real-world scenario.

Front

How can you represent a relationship between two variables using a function?

Back

A relationship can be represented using a function by defining one variable in terms of another, such as W(t) = 10t for earnings based on hours worked.

How do you determine the equation of a line from a table of values?

Back

You can determine the equation by identifying the pattern in the changes of y with respect to x, often resulting in a linear relationship.

How do you interpret the coefficients in a linear equation?

Back

Coefficients indicate the rate of change; for example, in y = 0.15x + 40, 0.15 is the cost per minute and 40 is the base fee.

What is the relationship between a graph and its corresponding equation?

Back

The graph visually represents the equation, showing how the dependent variable changes with the independent variable.
