#A

  • Flat fee=6
  • Rate of change=0.5

Equation in slope intercept form

  • y=mx+b
  • y=0.5x+6

#B

  • Flat fee=2$
  • Rate of change=1

Equation in slope intercept form

  • y=x+2

Now for compare take any no

Let's take 10

For garage A

  • y=0.5(10)+6=5+6=11$

For garage B

  • y=10+2=12$

Hence Garage B is charging more

Answer:

$6 + .50x = $2 + $1.00x

4 = .50x

8hr = x, the number of hours when both garages cost the same amount

$6 + .50 x 8 =

$10 would be the cost a both garages after 8 hours
