Finn suggests that club members walk dogs for a fee. He proposes they offer 5 walks for $20 and 10 walks for $40 per dog. Write an equation to represent the amount earned, y, for x number of walks. Then graph the function

The equation to represent the amount earned, y, for x number of walks.

The graph of the function is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given that Finn suggests that club members walk dogs for a fee. Thus, the y-intercept is 0. i.e. b = 0

Given that he proposes they offer 5 walks for $20 and 10 walks for $40 per dog.

Thus, the rate of change of function or slope = (40-20) / (10 - 5)

                                                                           =  20 / 5

                                                                            = 4 dollars per walk

so, rate of change = slope = m = 4

Now substitutng m = 4 and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

Therefore, the equation to represent the amount earned, y, for x number of walks.

The graph of the function is attached below.

answer: 2x + 2 − 2 = 10 − 2; subtraction property of equality
