Question

Pizza hut charges $7.00 for a cheese pizza. Each additional topping costs $0.50. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to determine the total cost, y, of a pizza with,x, amount of toppings.

What is the slope and y-intercept in context of the situation?

Answer 1

Answer:
`y=0.5x+7`

Explanation:

Given

Pizza hut charges $7 for a cheese pizza

Each additional topping costs $0.50

Considering y as the cost of pizza and x be the amount of topping added

Cost of a pizza with toppings

`\Rightarrow y=0.5x+7`

Here, the slope of the equation is
`0.5`

Y-intercept is equivalent to price of base pizza i.e.
`7`
