Question

A computer repair service charges a one-time bench fee of $50 to diagnose the problem

and $35 per hour to repair it.
.
• Write an equation in the form y = mx + b that relates the total cost y to the number
of hours the repair takes x.
Identify the slope and the y-intercept in your equation. What do they mean in the
context of this problem?
If a computer takes 5 hours to repair, how much will it cost?
If a computer costs $242.50, how long did it take to repair it?

Answer 1

Y=35x+50 bc you already have to pay 50$ and then you spend 35 a hour and the X represents how many hours.
