If (y=5x+60), what happens to (y) when (x) increases from (4) to (14)?

Correct answer: It increases by (50)

The increase in (x) is (14-4=10). The coefficient of (x) is (5), so the change in (y) is (5×10=50). Checking directly, (y=80) at (x=4) and (y=130) at (x=14); hence (y) increases by (50). The constant term (60) affects the starting value, not the change. Exam tip: for a linear equation (y=mx+c), use (Δy=mΔx).
