Question

Burro Travel Bureau arranges trips for descending into the Grand Canyon. For each trip, they charge an initial fee of \$25$25dollar sign, 25 in addition to \$0.10$0.10dollar sign, 0, point, 10 for each vertical meter they descend. Let yyy represent the fee (in dollars) of a trip where they descended xxx vertical meters.

Answer 1

Slope and y-intercept

Answer 2

Slope and y-intercept

Explanation:

The complete question is shown in the image attached with.

For each trip an initial fee of $ 25 is charged and $ 0.10 is charged for each vertical meter descended.

Since, for each vertical meter the charge is $ 0.10, for x meters the charges will be $ 0.10x. So,

Total charges of the trip would be:

Total charges/fee = Initial Fee + Fee for x meters

y = 25 + 0.10x

y = 0.10x + 25

The general slope intercept form of the equation of the line is:

y = mx + c

Where,

m = slope of the line

c = y-intercept

Compairing both the equations given above we, get:

Slope of line = m = 0.10

y-intercept = c = 25

So, the given statements gives us the slope and the y-intercept of the graph.
