The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold. It costs the owner $48 dollars each morning for the day’s supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard, but he earns $2 profit for each hot dog sold. Which equation represents y, the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dogs sold?

Fixed Cost = $48

Profit on Each Hot Dog = $2

Profit on X hot dogs = $2X

Profit Earned = 2X - 48  $

Y = 2X - 48
