Q# 1 It costs $35 for a membership at a wholesale store. The monthly fee is $15. Write and graph an equation that represents the total cost (in dollars) of a membership. Let m represent the number of months and c represent the total cost.
Q#2
Q# 2 An equation in two variables that represents the total cost of a membership is c =[]
c = 35 + 15m
To write an equation that represents the total cost of a membership, we need to consider two components: the initial cost of $35 and the monthly fee of $15 per month.
We can calculate the total cost by multiplying the number of months, m, by the monthly fee and adding the initial cost of $35. Therefore, the equation to represent the total cost, c, is:
c = 15m + 35
To graph this equation, we can plot the values of m on the x-axis and c on the y-axis. We can choose different values for m and calculate the corresponding values of c using the equation. Let's choose a few values of m and calculate c accordingly:
For m = 0 (no months):
c = 15(0) + 35 = 35
For m = 1 (one month):
c = 15(1) + 35 = 50
For m = 2 (two months):
c = 15(2) + 35 = 65
Now, we can plot these points on the graph and connect them to form a line. The graph will show how the total cost, c, changes as the number of months, m, increases.
