The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear funsion of the number of hot dogs sold. It cost the owner $48 dollars each morning for the day's supply of hot dogs, but he earnes $2 profit for each hot dog sold which equation represent y, the profit earned bye the hot dogs sold

Step-by-step explanation:

If he earns $2 per hot dog sold, then the algebraic expression for this is 2x, where x is the number of hot dogs sold. If he has to put out $48 to buy the supplies, that is represented as - 48. The function, then, that represents the profit earned by selling the hot dogs is

y = 2x - 48
