c = 27 + 10·0
c = 27
For company H, it is 25 (corresponds to Hours = 0).
__

G: $27
H: $25

Additional comment
The cost per hour is found from the equation by looking at the coefficient of h. It is $10 per hour for Company G.
The cost per hour is found from the table by looking at the increase when the number of hours increases by 1. For 1 hour, the cost goes from 25 to 32, an increase of $7 for 1 hour. The cost is $7 per hour for Company H.
