A sailing regatta hosted by Royal Yacht Club initially had 40 participants sign up which generated $350 for the yacht club. Another 70 participants (now a total of 110) signed up before the deadline which generated a grand total of $1750 for the yacht club. Write a graph linear equation to model the money earned in terms of the number of participants in the regatta.

A sailing regatta hosted by Royal Yacht Club initially had 40 participants sign up which generated $350 for the yacht club. Another 70 participants (now a total of 110) signed up before the deadline which generated a grand total of $1750 for the yacht club. Write a graph linear equation to model the money earned in terms of the number of participants in the regatta.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given
When 40 participants sign up then the money earned is $350 and when the number of participants increased to 110, then the money earned increases to $1750.
We have two points of the linear equation between money earned and the number of participants.
We can construct the graph and linear equation by using these two points.
