Question

A figure skating school offers introductory lessons at $25 per session. There is also a registration fee of $30. Write a linear equation in slope- intercept form that represents the situation.Part B: You want to take at least 6 lessons, what is the cost.

Answer 1

Given:

Registration fee = $30

Fee per session = $25

To write a linear equation in slope-intercept form, we have:

Using the general slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

where

y = Total fee

m = fee per session

x = number of lessons

b = registration fee

Therefore, we have:

y = 25x + 30

Part B.

To find the cost if you want to take at least 6 lessons:

y = 25(6) + 30

= 150 + 30

= 180

The cost of taking at least 6 lessons is $180

ANSWER:

a) y = 25x + 30

b) $180
