Question

a pizzeria charges $8 for a large cheese pizza, plus $2 for each topping. The total cost for a large pizza is given by the equation C=2t+8, where t is the number of toppings. Graph the equation for t between 0 and 5 toppings, and explain the meaning of the slope and the y-intercept

Answer 1

C = 2t + 8, with 0<t<5

C is on the vertical (y axis) with t measured on the horizontal (x axis)

slope = 2 which means $2 for every topping

y intercept = 8 = $8 cost for a pizza with no toppings
