A batting cage charges a flat fee of $5 to practice and th Write an equation that models the charges (C) in terms of the number of bucket balls (b) that you use: O C = 1.50 b + 5 O C = 5 b + 1.50 6 Ob = 1.60 C + 5 Ob = 5 C + 1.50

we have

C -----> total charge

b -----> number of buckets of balls

Remmeber that

the equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope and b is the initial value or y-intercept

In this problem

m=$1.50 per buckey

b=$5

therefore

y=1.50x+5

or

C=1.50b+5

answer is first option
