Question

You figured out that you could make $50 each time you cleaned a pool during the summer. You did, however, need to purchase some equipment to get started. After cleaning 3 pools, you were still down at total of 15 dollars. Write an equation in point-slope form that represents that number of pools you clean

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

Assuming x is the number of pools you have cleaned, the amount of money you can make can be represented by

a) y = 50x - 165 (After cleaning three pools, you were still down $15, this means the equipment costs 3*50 + 15 = $165)

b) The y-intercept -165 is the equipment cost

c) After cleaning 12 pools, y = 600 - 165 = 435. You have made $435.
