Writing & Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities

Mr. Cabs has a gold membership at the local pet store to buy cheap mice to feed to his iguanas. The function y = 50 + 0.75x can be used to find the cost of purchasing the gold membership and buying x mice from the store. Based on this information, which statement about this situation is true?

• The y-intercept represents the number of mice Mr. Cabs purchased from the store.

• The slope of the line represents the cost of purchasing the gold membership.

• The y-intercept represents the cost of purchasing the gold membership.

• The slope of the line represents the total number of mice purchased by Mr. Cabs.
