Question

In order to rent a log cabin at the ski lodge, guests have to pay a one-time security deposit of $165 plus $123 per night. Which of the

following represents this situation?
O A.
Cost = $123x + $165; slope = $123
B.
Cost = $123x + $165; slope = $165
C.
Cost = $165x
$123; slope = $123
• D. Cost = $165x + $123; slope = $165

Answer 1

Answer: A: 123x + 165

Explanation:

If you let x be the number of nights, and the cost per night is 123, then the cost for x number of nights would be 123x. Then no matter what, the person must pay a one-time fee of 165 so the total cost would be 123x + 165. This is in the form y =mx + b so the slope would be m, which in this case is 123.
