Question

Suppose that a bike rents for $4 plus $3 per hour. Write an equation in slope intercept form to represent

the cost to rent the bike as a function of time. What does the slope represent? What does the y-intercept
represent? What would the total rental fee be if someone rented the bike for 6 hours?

Answer 1

`\\y=3x+4\\`

Explanation:

The slope represents the variable hourly rate being charged, where as $4 represents a fixed cost.

`22=3(6)+4`

because x is your hours rented, you plug 6 in for x and solve.
