Question

expess in equation and draw the graph for the cost of laptop is five times the cost  of a computer

Answer 1

let y = cost of a laptop

let x = cost of a computer

 

your equation is: y = 5x

 

This is a linear equation of a line

with slope m=5 and y-intercept (0,0).

Since computers and laptops cost in the

hundreds of dollars, label your x and

y axes as "cost in hundreds of dollars"

and plot a couple of points to connect

and make your line

 

x    |    y

-----|-------

1    |  5

2    |  10
