Question
For the spring semester 2009, part time students at a college paid $486 per credit (unit or hour) for tuition and paid a mandatory part time student fee of $20 per semester. Let T be the total one-semester cost (in dollars) of tuition plus part time students fee for c credits of classes. (complete all parts).
a. Find the slope of the linear model that is described this situation. What does it mean in this situation?
The slope is __. The tuition increases by $__ per credit.
b. Find an equation of the model.
c. Preform a unit analysis of the equation found in part b.
d. What was the total one-semester cost of tuition plus part time student fee for 9 credits of classes

Use two data points to find such a line and then estimate the requested quantity. Let y represent the number of employees. The linear equation that best models the number of employees (in millions) is (Simplify your answer. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation.
