Golden Corral charges $11 for a buffet plus $1 for each drink. Western Sizzlin charges $9 for a buffet plus $2 for each drink. Which restaurant has the best deal? (I made up these prices!!) 1. Write 2 equations to represent the 2 restaurants. Predict if these equations will be linear of nonlinear (how do you know?). If they are linear will the lines point upward or downward (how do you know?).
