Explanation Given information: In a Washington town, the charge for commercial waste collection is $694.55 for 5 tons and $1098.32 for 8 tons of waste. Calculation: From the given information For w = 5 , C = 694.55 For w = 8 , C = 1098.32 The formula to figure out slope of a line is m = y 2 − y 1 x 2 − x 1 Here ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) are any two points on the line. We consider two points on the line as ( x 1 , y 1 ) ≡ ( 5 , 694.55 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) ≡ ( 8 , 1098.32 ) The slope of the given line can be figure out as follows: m = 1098 To determine (b) To find: What is the slope of the line found in part (a)? Give units and interpret your answer in terms of the cost of waste collection. To determine (c) To find: What is the vertical intercept of the line found in part (a)? Give units and interpret your answer in terms of the cost of waste collection.
