Question

Isaiah is mowing lawns for a summer job for every mountain Charlie charges an initial fee of $10 plus $6 dollars for each additional hour

1. write an equation in slope intercept form
2. how much money does he make after working one job for four hours

Answer 1

y = 6x + 10

Isaiah makes $34.00 after working for 4 hours.

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

In this situation the equation would look like so, x = amount of hours:

y = 6x + 10

To solve for how much Isaiah earns after 4 hours plug in 4 instead of x.

y = 6(4) + 10

y = 24 + 10

y = 34

Isaiah makes $34.00 after working for 4 hours.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
