Alto and Brian both ordered the same size pizzas and Marco's Pizza;

however, they ordered different toppings. Marco's charges an additional

fee for toppings, but all toppings cost the same. Alto got pepperoni,

banana peppers, and black olives on his pizza for a cost of $15.74. Brian

order mushrooms and eggplant of his pizza and paid $14.49. Using this

information, write an equation for the cost of a pizza, C, as a function of

the toppings, t, ordered. *Hint: slope intercept form and you will need the

slope formula

Answer:

Cost of pizza = 1.25x + 11.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Toppings cost the same and the pizza orders are of same size :

Alto ordered for 3 Toppings + pizza = 15.74

Brian ordered for 2 toppings + pizza = 14.49

Hence the cost per topping and pizza could be found :

Cost per topping :

15.74 - 14.49 = 1.25

Hence, slope = 1.25

The intercept, c represents the cost of pizza alone :

Cost of pizza + 2 Toppings = 14.49

Cost per topping = 1.25

Cost of pizza = 14.49 - 2(1.25)

Cost of pizza = 14.49 - 2.50 = 11.99

Expressing in slope - intercept form :

y = mx + c

m = slope ; c = intercept

Cost of pizza = 1.25x + 11.99
