Question

in the function y = .08x + 5, y represents the cost of water per gallons and x represents the number of gallons. How much does the cost of water increase for every gallon?

Answer 1

$0.08

Explanation:

$0.08 is correct. The slope is the coefficient in front of x. Since the slope of the equation is .08, the water cost increases $0.08 per gallon.

Answer 2

If it is 0.8x+c( i assume asin ur question it shows 08.x+c

Y=0.8x+c
Where x is number of gallon
Put x=1
y=5.8
X
x=2 then y=6.6
Every timeit is incresedby 0.8
