The linear equation y = 13x + 80 can be used to model the total cost y (in pounds) for x people attending the greyhound racing evening at Option A. (i) Explain why this equation holds.

Sagot :

Answer:

Justification of 'Cost of Match , based on attendants' linear equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes , this linear equation might hold right in denoting total cost 'y' for 'x' people attending racing event

Given equation  : y = 13x + 80

Cost 'y' is the variable dependent on explanatory variable ie no. of race attendants. So, y is on LHS, being determined by x on LHS.

80 is the autonomous constant intercept of equation, denoting fixed setup cost irrespective of no. of attendants. +13x denotes every additional attendant increases cost by 13 units (above the level of fixed cost), this is the positive slope of equation (as variables are directly related)
