Where’s the job? I see extra information on tasks and then an example.

It is probably a linear cost function.

K(x)=VK+FK where VK= Variable costs multiplied by the amount x and FK the fixed costs.

Thus we have the equation K(x)= SK*x+FK

If you now have 2 points (x/K(x)), you can use them in the equation. Then you have 2 equations with 2 unknown ones and can calculate SK and FK.

Here, the slope is the unit costs as the costs increase with each piece.

Wait, don’t tell me this is one of the tasks?

You don’t even have to do much, you just have to

(K2-K1)/(x2-x1). Then you have the slope.

For FK, you have to take only one point and insert it into the above equation and then dissolve it to FK.

Since it is a straight line, delta y can count through delta x, since in a straight line the gradient is the same everywhere. Delta (sometimes you take the Greek spells so n small triangle) means nothing other than the difference.
