Answer:

[tex]y=2x-48[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the profit earned by the hot dog stand daily

x ----> the number of hot dogs sold

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is equal to

[tex]y=2x-48[/tex]

This is the equation of the line into slope intercept form

where

[tex]m=2\frac{\$}{hot\ dog}[/tex] ----> is the slope

[tex]b=-\$48[/tex] ---> is the y-intercept (cost of the day's supply)

Answer:

y=2x-48
