Question

An attorney charges a fixed fee of $220 for an initial meeting. He charges

$125 for every hour worked on your case. Write an equation to represent
this and find the total amount he would charge for 32 hours of work on
your case.

Answer 1

y=125x+220

Explanation:

y is cost

125 is the slope since that is the number that increases

x is the amount of hours since he charges 125 per hour

220 is the y intercept or initial value

125 times 32 = 4000. This is the amount charged just off of hours

If you add the initial cost for the initial meeting which is 220. 4000+220=4220
