Part A: Abe rented a bike at $36 for 5 days. If he rents the same bike for 8 days, he has to pay a total rent of $48.Write an equation in the standard form to represent the total rent (y) that Abe has to pay for renting the bike for x days. Part B: Write the equation obtained in Part A using function notation. Part C: Describe the steps to graph the equation obtained above on the coordinate axes. Mention the labels on the axes and the intervals.

We need to find an equation that represents the total rent, we proceed


y=\frac{36\text{dollars}}{5\text{day}}x

simplifying


y=7.2x

We use the fact that the cost of 5 days is equal to 36 dollars, which helped us find the rate of money per day. If x is the number of days then the price to pay for renting "x" days is the product of "x" by the rate
