Part a· 2 steps
To generate the model (equation) that represents the road, we use the two given points: Town A $(0,20)$ and Town B $(4,60)$.
Calculate the slope () of the line.
The formula for the slope is .
Let and .Use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, .
We know the slope .
Since one of the points is , the y-intercept () is 20.
Substitute and into the equation.The model (equation) that represents the road is .
Part b
To generate the model (nth term) for the number of customers, we recognize this as an arithmetic progression.
Identify the first term () and the common difference ().
The number of customers on the first day () is 7.
The customers kept on increasing by 3 daily, so the common difference () is 3.Generate the model (nth term formula).
The formula for the -th term of an arithmetic progression is .
Substitute and into the formula.The model (nth term) relating the number of days () and customers () is .
Determine the number of customers after 20 days.
Substitute into the model .
The number of customers after 20 days will be .
