Question

The amount of money, y, pizzeria J makes by
selling x pizzas can be modeled by the equation
y = 14x. The relationship of the amount of money
pizzeria W makes is shown in the following graph.
Which pizzeria makes more money per pizza?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pizzeria J

Step-by-step explanation:

Pizzeria J makes

y = 14x

Let x = 1, for 1 pizza. Then,

y = 14 × 1

y = 14

At pizzeria J, 1 pizza costs $14.

In the equation y = 14x, the slope, 14, is the cost per pizza.

Now we find the slope of the graph for pizzeria W.

The x-axis is the number of pizzas.

For x = 1, y = 11.

The slope is 11, so the price per pizza is $11.

Answer: Pizzeria J
