Four boxes of pencils cost $5 Write an equation that represents the total cost,y,for x boxes of pencils What is the slope of the equation? What does that number represent?(aka interpret the slope)
Given 4 boxes of pencils cost $5, Unknown- slope $1.25 per box since $5/boxes Equation y=mx+b Substitute $1.25/per box for m Solve y=$1.25x The Check $5=$1.25/per box(4 boxes) $5=$5
