Joseph owns a hot dog stand and sells specialized hot dogs. he charges $1.50 for a plain hot dog and then an additional $0.50 for each topping that you want. this can be modeled by the equation c = .5x + 1.5, where c is the total cost of the hot dog and x is the number of toppings you ordered. hattie sells hamburgers at the stand next door and has the same basic cost except she charges $2.50 for a plain hamburger and then $0.25 for each additional topping. how should she change joseph's cost equation to represent her hamburger cost?

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
