Question

lucia is buying dessert from a new frozen yogurt shop, the frosty bowl. she pays a base price for the bowl of yogurt as well as an additional amount depending on how many ounces of toppings she adds. this situation can be modeled as a linear relationship. graph of a linear function with x-axis labeled ounces of toppings (0 - 10) and y-axis labeled total cost ($) (0 - 10), line starting at (0, 2) and going up to (9, 7) approximately complete the statement that describes the situation. the base price from the bowl of yogurt is dropdown with $1, $1.50, $2, $2.50, and toppings cost dropdown per ounce.

Explanation:

Step1: Find y-intercept (base price)

When ounces of toppings \(x=0\), total cost \(y=2\). So base price is $2.

Step2: Calculate slope (cost per ounce)

Take two points: \((0,2)\) and \((10,7)\). Slope \(m=\frac{7-2}{10-0}=\frac{5}{10}=0.5\). So toppings cost $0.5 per ounce.

Answer:

The base price from the bowl of yogurt is $2, and toppings cost $0.5 per ounce.
