The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold. It costs the owner $48 dollars each morning for the day’s supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard, but he earns $2 profit for each hot dog sold. Which equation represents y, the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dogs sold? y=48x−2 y=48x+2 y=2x−48 y=2x+48

Respuesta :

Answer:

c. y=2x−48

Explanation:

It is telling us that it costs $48 each morning to buy the day's supply of hot dogs, so we must subtract that from our pay, and it will be our y intercept

It also says he earns $2 per hot dog, so that will be our slope (rate of change)
