the cost of renting a sailboat at a lake is $20 per hour plus $12 for lifejackets. Write an equation in slope intercept form that can be used to calculate the total amount you would pay for using this sailboat

Y=12x+20

20 is your flat fee, so that is your y-intercept. 12 is your hourly rate or slope. So, to find the cost, you would multiply the number of hours you were on the lake and add 20
