A. The y-intercept is 11
B. The y-intercept represents the base cost of the meal (without any side dishes).
C. The slope is 1.25.
D. The slope represents the cost of each additional side dish.
E. To find out how many side dishes Jodi got, we can use the equation and substitute y = 18.50:
18.50 = 11 + 1.25x
Re-arranging the equation to solve for x:
1.25x = 18.50 - 11
1.25x = 7.50
Dividing both sides by 1.25:
x = 6
Therefore, Jodi got 6 side dishes.
