7. After completing LaGuardia CUNY Start, Monica begins studying for an Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts with a focus on math and science. Her ultimate goal is to earn a Bachelor's Degree at Hunter College and become a biologist. (For more information on what a biologist does, see the end of this handout.) While she is a student, Monica works as a lab technician alongside a team of biologists. Part of her job involves ordering supplies for the lab. Every month, Monica orders boxes of test tubes for the scientists. The test tube supply company uses the following table to calculate the cost for each order. You can only see this portion of the table. Monica needs a new pencil, Boxes of Test Tubes 1 3 4 Total Cost Including Shipping S12.00 S15.50 SI9.00 $22.50: Write a function equation that shows the cost of the test tubes, where x represents the number of boxes of test tubes, and y represents the cost in dollars. a. b. What is the slope of this function? How can it be interpreted using the problem context? What is the y-intercept of this function? How can it be interpreted using the problem context? с.
