The cost C, in dollars, for delivered pizza depends on the number p of pizzas ordered. The situation is represented by the function rule C equals 5 plus 9 p. Would the graph be continuous or discrete? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer: discrete

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph would be discrete, because you can only order a whole number of pizzas. This means you cannot have 0.4 of a pizza or 3/5 of a pizza. Therefore, p can only be whole numbers, so you cannot draw a line through the points, since prices for non-whole pizzas are not possible.
