E XAMPLE 5: W ORD P ROBLEMS The cost to place an ad in a newspaper for one week is a linear function of the number of lines in the ad. The costs for 3, 5, and 10 lines are shown. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the function. Then find the cost of an ad that is 18 lines long. Lines3510 Cost $
E XAMPLE 5: W ORD P ROBLEMS At a different newspaper, the costs to place an ad for one week are shown. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents this linear function. Then find the cost of an ad that is 21 lines long. Lines3510 Cost $
S UMMING I T U P ! Use the two points in the formula to find the slope. Then use the slope and one of the points to write the equation in point- slope form. If the slope is m and y –intercept is b, then the equation is y = mx + b Use the slope and the point to write the equation in point-slope form.
