Answer:
See the explanation bellow
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
We are told that the total pounds of garbage is modeled by
f(x) = 50x + 5200
comparing the above expression with the equation of a line
y= mx+c,
we can see that
f(x) represents y, which the total garbage collected in pounds
m is 50 which is the amount of garbage in pounds collected per year
x is the number of years
and 5200 is the already existing garbage in pounds
