Question

Myra owns a car service that charges a $5 flat rate and an additional $0.50 per mile.

1. y−intercept = (0, 5), point = (x, y)
2. m = 0.5
3. 0.5 =
y − 5
x − 0
→0.5 =
y − 5
x

4. Solve for y :
0.5 =
y − 5
x
→0.5x = y − 5

Answer 1

y=0.5x + 5

Explanation:

just got it right

Answer 2

y=0.5x+5

Explanation:

• add 5 to both sides of the equation
• on the right side of the equation, the 5 cancels out
• on the left side of the equation, the 5 becomes a positive
• now you have your answer

0.5x+5=y

*If you want to, you can rewrite the solution...

y=0.5x+5

Hope I helped answer the question:)
