Answer 1

Option 1

Explanation:

Hello!

We can see that the base price for a canoe is $12, as you have to spend the $12 to get the canoe.

You also have to spend $5 per hour in the canoe, which is why "t" is being multiplied by 5.

We can also look at this graphically.

The x-axis is the number of hours, while the y-axis is the price. When x is 0 (no hours on canoe), you can see that the price is $12. But as it increases by 1 hour, the price increases by $5.
