y = $0.0375 per copy + $2,000

Explanation:

The number of copies and the total company cost is given for the month-wise beginning from January to August

Since the question is asked for the January activity, so the equation is shown below:

Variable cost per copy = (Total copy cost - value at line intersects y-axis) : number of copies

y = ($3,500 - $2,000) : 40,000

y = 1,500 : 40,000

y = $0.0375 per copy

Now the equation is

y = $0.0375 per copy + $2,000
