Question

The cost of renting a sailboat at a lake is $80 per hour plus $12 for lifejackets. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that can be used to calculate the total amount you would pay for using this sailboat.

Answer 1

y = mx + c

y = 80x + 12

Explanation:

An equation in slope-intercept form is represented by formula:

y = mx + c

Where

y = Total amount paid

x = Number of hours of renting sailboat.

c = cost for life jackets

m = The cost of renting a sailboat at a lake

From the question we are told:

The cost of renting a sailboat at a lake is $80 per hour plus $12 for lifejackets.

An equation in slope-intercept form is written:

y = mx + c

y = $80 × x + 12

y = 80x + 12
