Question

It is $150 to rent a room at local skating rink, and it is $5 extra per child for pizza, drink, and a party bag. Write the equation in slope intercept form for the situation above

A) x+y=1050
B) y=150
C) y=150x+5
D) y=5x+150

Answer 1

Let's start with the fixed cost, which is the cost to rent the room: $150. This is the y-intercept of the equation. Now, for each child attending the party, there is an additional cost of $5. We can represent the number of children attending with the variable x. Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is: y = 5x + 150 So the correct answer is D) y = 5x + 150
