Assuming the line intersects the y-axis at $50 and using the September activity levels calculate the equation of the line that would be drawn for a scattergraph. (Round variable cost to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and fixed cost to 0 decimal places, e.g 15.)
y=__________$____________x MH + $______________
What is the expected electricity cost when 425 machine hours are used? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 125.25.)
