(0, 1.25)
4
7
#6
The number of sides that would cost you $0
11
The number of side dishes per cost
The amount per side dish
(11, 0)
5
The cost of a meal with O sides
The y-intercept, also known as the "b" value, is the value of y when x is equal to 0. In this context, the y-intercept is 11.
The y-intercept represents the starting point or initial value of the equation. In this case, it could mean that there is a cost associated with the meal even if no side dishes are added, or it could represent a fixed cost for the meal itself. The exact meaning would depend on the specific context or situation being described.
The slope, also known as the "m" value, is 1.25.
The slope represents the rate of change in the equation. In this case, it could represent the increase in cost for each additional side dish. So for every additional side dish, the cost of the meal would increase by $1.25.
To determine how many side dishes Jodi got if she paid $18.50 for her meal, we can use the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
where y represents the cost of the meal, x represents the number of side dishes, m represents the slope, and b represents the y-intercept.
In this case, we have y = 18.50 and we want to find x.
18.50 = 1.25x + 11
Subtracting 11 from both sides, we get:
18.50 - 11 = 1.25x
7.50 = 1.25x
Dividing both sides by 1.25, we get:
x = 6
So Jodi got 6 side dishes with her meal.
