5 + 8s = 15 + 3s
8s - 3s = 15 - 5
5s = 10
s = 10/5
s = 2 <=== they will charge the same at 2 sq ft
Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
Answer:
the answers for this problem will equal the equation. So it's y=1/3x+5
