Answer:
x represents +50 for every hour. the inequality is y = 4x + 500 or y = x + 500.
they can ride it for 4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
y(total cost) = x(50 per hour) + 500(y-intercept)
You start by finding two points on the line. In this case, (-4,1) and (-2,2) will do.
To get from (-4,1) to (-2,2), you need to go “up 1, right 2” which gives you a slope of m = 1/2
Next you need the b-value, which comes from the y-intercept of (0,3). The b-value is 3.
Putting the slope and b-value into y=mx+b, you have y = 1/2 x + 3.
It is not correct because of the order the problem is organized in.
