The following equation represents the cost of buying a meal with one meat and options for the number of side dishes, x . y = 11 + 1.25x (5 points) Put responses in the correct input to answer the question.
A. What is the y-intercept?
B. What does the y-intercept mean in context?
C. What is the slope?
D. What does the slope mean in context?
E. If Jodi paid $18.50 for her meal, how many side dishes did she get?
A. The y-intercept is 11.
B. The y-intercept represents the cost of buying a meal with no side dishes, only the meat. In other words, it is the cost of the meal without any additional options.
C. The slope is 1.25.
D. The slope represents the additional cost of each side dish added to the meal. It indicates how the cost increases with each additional side dish.
E. To find the number of side dishes, we can substitute the cost, $18.50, into the equation and solve for x:
18.50 = 11 + 1.25x
7.50 = 1.25x
x = 6
Jodi got 6 side dishes.
