OVER HERE


Sunset Canyon Bikes charges $1.50 per hour and a $8.00 rental fee.

Blue Canyon Bikes charges $3.50 per hour and a $4.00 rental fee.

Graph this scenario on the coordinate plane to determine the minimum number of hours that a bike needs to rented for Sunset Canyon Bikes to have a lower price than Blue Canyon Bikes.

Select two points on each line to graph the lines.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 3 hours I think.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

• Minimum 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Sunset Canyon Bikes charges $1.50 per hour and a $8.00 rental fee.

Equation:

• y = 1.5x + 8

Blue Canyon Bikes charges $3.50 per hour and a $4.00 rental fee

Equation:

• y = 3.5x + 4

The second equation has a greater slope so beyond the intersection of the lines the Sunset Canyon Bikes will have lower price.

The point of intersection is:

• 1.5x + 8 = 3.5x + 4
• 3.5x - 1.5x = 8 - 4
• 2x = 4
• x = 2 hours

The graph is attached, where the red line is the first equation and the blue line is the second one.
