Question

Interpret the slope and y-intercept

a dude ranch in Texas charges customers y dollars to go horseback riding based on the equation y=10x+20, where x represents the hours they go horseback riding

Answer 1

the cost (y) for 3 hours of horseback riding would be 50 dollars.

In summary, the slope of 10 indicates that for each additional hour, the cost increases by 10 dollars, and the y-intercept of 20 represents the base fee of 20 dollars when the customer does not go horseback riding at all.

hope this helps !
