To rent a scooter, 2Fast charges: $2 per hour plus a $5 service charge.

Question

Write an equation in y=mx+b form

Answer 1

Total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

Variable cost will change based on the number of scooters you rent (This is the hourly rate)

Fixed cost stays the same (this is your service charge)

Let y = the total cost

Let x = the number of hours you rent the scooter

y = 2x+5
