Ok so im now learning y=mx+b word problems and most of my answers are straight forward, the problem is i dont know whats right or wrong heres what im dealing with:

an attorney named teags charges a fixed fee on 250 for an initial meeting and 150 per hour for all hours worked after that.write an equation in slope-intercept form.find the charge for 26 hours of work.
and the answer  i got was 26=x i really dont think that sounds right but any help would be awesome!!!

y = mx+b
y = 150x+ 250
for 26 hours, y = 150*26+250 = 4150
