A. The y-intercept is 11.

B. The y-intercept represents the cost of buying a meal with no side dishes, which is $11.

C. The slope is 1.25.

D. The slope means that for each additional side dish, the cost of the meal increases by $1.25.

E. To find the number of side dishes, we can rearrange the equation and solve for x. Given that y = 18.50, we have:

18.50 = 11 + 1.25x

Subtracting 11 from both sides:

7.50 = 1.25x

Dividing both sides by 1.25:

6 = x

So Jodi got 6 side dishes.
