Sagot :

Answer:  [tex]y=0.5x+7[/tex]

Step-by-step 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

[tex]\Rightarrow y=0.5x+7[/tex]

Here, the slope of the equation is [tex]0.5[/tex]

Y-intercept is equivalent to price of base pizza i.e. [tex]7[/tex]
