A pizza restaurant charges a flat fee for a plain cheese pizza. There is an extra charge for any additional toppings. The cost of a pizza can be I determined from the equation C = 0.5m + 5, where m is the number of

additional toppings and C is the cost of the pizza ordered. What are the

interpretations of slope and y-intercept in the equation?

A

slope: cost per additional topping

y-intercept: cost of the plain pizza

B. slope: cost per additional topping

y-intercept: cost of the first topping

C. slope: cost of the plain pizza

y-intercept: cost per additional topping

D. slope: ratio of cost of additional topping to the cost of the plain pizza

y-intercept: cost of an additional topping
