An advertiser goes to a printer and is charged $40 for 70 copies of one flyer and $53 for 249 copies of another flyer. The printer charges a fixed setup cost plus a charge for every copy of single-page flyers. Find a function that describes the cost of a printing job, if

is the number of copies made.

Okay. You've been given two data points and asked to find an equation that fits them. Were you given any instructions regarding what type of equation, such as "linear"? What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck?

Please be complete. For instance, if you've only learned about linear functions, then start by showing the variables you picked and the slope you found. Thank you! :wink:
