Answer 2

The new function is
`y=0.5x+5` and its graph is shown below.

Explanation:

Let the number of tooth = x and the cost of teeth = y (in dollars).

Tooth fairy charges $1 for each tooth with extra charge of $5.

So, the cost of the teeth is
`y=x+5`.

Now, the tooth fairy charges $0.5 for each tooth with extra charge of $5.

Thus, the new cost of the teeth is given by.

`y=0.5x+5`

So, the new function is
`y=0.5x+5` and its graph is shown below.
