2. Define any variables and tell the slope and y-intercept of the situation. Then, write an equation to represent

the situation.

An electrician charges $75 for a service call and $25 for each hour they are on the job. If the electrician spends x hours at a house, what will the total charge, C(x) be?

Answer:

x=number of hours

c(x)= 25x+75

y-intercept= (0, 75)

Equation= y=25x+75

Slope= 25

Explanation:

75 would be the y intercept(constant) because that's the initial charge for a call.

25 would be the coefficient for x because the hour you spend on the call varies.

The slope is how steep the line is, in this case it is 25.

x is the number of hours because that is the time that varies.
