200 is the fixed cost or base charge to host the party at the restaurant. This is the total charge regardless of how many people attend.
45 is the rate at which the charge increases for each additional person in attendance. This means that for each additional person, there is an increase of $45 in the total charge.
y values represent the total charge for the party, which is dependent on the number of people (x) in attendance.
The equation y = 45x + 200 is a linear model of the total charge, y for a party at a restaurant with x people in attendance.
