Question

To paint, a House, a painting company charges a flat rate of $400 for supplies, plus 60$ for each hour of labor. Write an equation for this situation.

Answer 1

y=60x+400

60 is the slope because they get payed $60 hourly, so the money is constantly increasing. 400 would be the y-intercept because it’s a constant. It doesn’t increase, it stays the same.
