Question

For babysitting, Nicole charges a flat fee of $3, plus $5 per hour. Write an equation for the cost, C, after h hours of babysitting. What do you think the slope and the y-intercept represent? How much money will she make if she baby-sits 5 hours?

Answer 1

The slope is represented by 5h and the y-intercept is 3. If she were to babysit for 5 hours, she would make $28. The equation is 5h + 3= C
