Answer:
a y intercept (0,8)
Flat rate 8
b slope is 4
c 3.5 hours
Explanation:
The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis, which is (0,8)
The flat rate is the y intercept which is 8
The rate per hour is the slope
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using 2 point ( 1,12) and ( 2,16)
= (16 -12)/(2-1)
= 4/1
= 4
The equation is
y = mx+b
y = 4x+8
Let y = 22
22 = 4x+8
Subtract 8 from each side
22-8 = 4x+8-8
14 = 4x
Divide by 4
14/4 = 4x/4
3.5 = x
3.5 hours
