Question

You rent a bicycle for $20.00 plus $2.00 per hour. • Write a linear equation for this situation in slope intercept form​

Answer 1

You have a fixed cost ($20) and a variable cost ($2*number of hours you rent the bike)

Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost

Let y = your Cost and x = the number of hours you rent the bike. The fixed cost is $20.

y = ($2 per hour)*(x hours) + $20

y = 2x + 20
