Sagot :

Data:

Truck 2 started $2 and sold 2 tacos for $1

A is the amount of money and T is the number of tacos sold

The equation of a line has the next general form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept (value of y when x is 0)

For the given situation:

1. To find the slope use the data as follow:

Truck 2 started $2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{A}{T} \\ \\ \\ m=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

2. The y-intercept is the money truck 2 started (initial value)

[tex]b=2[/tex]

Then, the equation for line that describes amount of money for taco truck 2 is:

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}T+2[/tex]
