Answer:

y = 5x +20

Explanation:

We assume you want the total cost (y) of x months of membership at the dance club.

This will be the sum of the start-up fee (20) and the product of the monthly fee (5) and the number of months (x).

y = 5x +20

Comparing this to the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, we see ...

y = mx + b

m = 5

b = 20
