What would the Equation be.

Answer 1

Y=2x+30

Explanation:

The b is 30

While the slope is 2

Using y=mx+b that will be your answer.

Answer 2

I believe it is Y=30+2x

Explanation:

Since the $30 is given no matter what, we can use it as b.

Since slope always changes, we use it as our m.

X= amount of people

2= charge per person

If there were 5 people there, the equation would look like this: y= $2(5)+$30

The dollar signs are just an aid.
