Answer:

Y is the total cost of his visit

Explanation:

This expression is similar the same as the equation of a straight line, so we could actually compare the expression and come up with an answer.

the equation of a straight line is

y=mx+c

y=45x+75

What does "x" represent?

x represents the number of hours worked by the electrician.

y represents the total cost of his visits
