Step 1 :The table shows a linear relationship between the number of cones sold and the profit.
Step 2 :We can calculate the slope and y-intercept of this linear relationship using the formula for slope (change in y over change in x) and the formula for y-intercept (y - mx).
Step 3 :The slope is calculated to be 1.71.
Step 4 :The y-intercept is calculated to be -391.0.
Step 5 :This means that for every additional cone sold, the profit increases by $1.71, and when no cones are sold, the profit is -$391.0.
Step 6 :The linear relationship between the number of cones sold and the profit can be represented by the equation \(\boxed{y = 1.71x - 391}\).
