The equation y = 1.5x represents the cost to rent a bike.1) Use the table to find the points to graph for equation. 2) Graph the equation .3) Describe in detail the slope of the line in detail :

Answer 1

Bill's Used Bikes charges $1.50 per mile to rent a bike. The equation y = 1.5x represents the cost to rent a bike.

1) We can complete the table by multiplying the value of x by 1.5 to find y:

x: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

y: 0 1.5 3 4.5 6 7.5 9 10.5 12 13.5 15

2) We can plot some points and plot the equation (it will be a line that goes through the center of coordinates)

The only points marked are the even numbers for distance: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, and its corresponding values for the cost (3, 6, 9, 12 and 15).

3) The slope has a value of 1.5.

Its units are "dollars per mile".

Its meaning is how much the shop charges for the use of the bike, measured in miles.
