Question

The cost of parking a car in an hourly lot can be

represented by the following equation
y = 3.2 + 2
What does the 2 tell you about the cost of
parking?
Select one:
You can only park for 2 hours
O
It costs 5 dollars to park all day
O
There is a 52 fee to park, before the number of
hours are factored in
The hourly rates $2

Answer 1

C. There is a $2 fee to park, before the number of hours are factored in.

The equation y = 3x + 2 represents the cost of parking a car in an hourly lot. The number 2 in the equation tells us that there is a $2 fee to park, regardless of the number of hours.

For example, if you park for 1 hour, the equation would be y = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 dollars. The $2 fee is added to the cost of parking for each hour.

Answer 2

C. There is a $2 fee to park, before the number of hours are factored in.

Explanation:

Given that the equation,
`y = 3x + 2`, represents total cost charged for at a parking lot for customers to park their car, thus:

the "x" represents the number of hours,

3 represents the charged fee per hour

2 represents the flat fee charged, which is the starting fee, before the number of hours is calculated and added.

Therefore, the answer is "C. There is a $2 fee to park, before the number of hours are factored in."
