Iam desperate! 95 points for correct ! 1543 pages is $77.40, 7361 pages is $368.30 using a linear equation with $250 in budget how many pages can you print. write steps!

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking you to find the equation of a straight line that passes through two points

Let x = the number of pages

and y = the cost

Then the coordinates of the two points are (1543, 77.40) and (7361, 368.30).

(a) Calculate the slope of the line

In other words, the cost is 5¢ per page.

(b) Calculate the y-intercept

(c) Write the equation for the line

y = 0.05x + 0.25

That is, the cost is 25¢ plus 5¢ per page

(d) Calculate the pages you can print for $250

The figure below shows the graph of your equation, with slope 0.05 and y-intercept at (0,0.25).

It looks as if you could print 5000 pages, but you must pay that 25¢ (5 pages worth) up-front, so you can print only 4995.

slope= 1

y-inter slope= 0

x       y

o     0

1       1

2     2

ect.
