Manuel builds and sells wooden crates. He made a table to show how much his crates cost.
Crates: 2, 4, 6, 8
Cost: 25, 45, 65, 85
Which equation represents the situation?
A. \( y - 2 = -10(x - 25) \)
B. \( y - 4 = 10(x - 45) \)
C. \( y - 65 = -10(x - 6) \)
D. \( y - 85 = 10(x - 8) \)
Answer (2)
D. y – 85 = 10(x – 8) ;
The correct equation that represents the cost of crates is option D: y − 85 = 10 ( x − 8 ) . This shows that the cost increases by $10 for each additional crate. The derived equation is based on the slope calculated from the data provided in the question.
