A bicycle rental costs $10 plus $1.50 per hour. write an equation. find the cost of renting a bike for 6 hours

Question

find the slope and y-intercept of the equation 

Answer 1

f(x) = 1.50x + 10

 

Initial cost; f(0) = 10; the y-coordinate of the y-intercept (b) = 10.

 

The slope; 1.50 = m

 

f(6) = 1.50(6) + 10

 

f(6) = 9 + 10 = 19

 

The cost of renting the bike for 6 hours is $19.00
