Question

A bike shop rents each of its mountain bikes for a one time $4.00 insurance charge plus $2.50 per hour create an equation that represents the relationship between the total cost , to rent a bike for X hours

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=2.50x+4.00$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of hours

y ----> the total cost to rent a bike in dollars

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or the unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or the initial value

In this problem we have

The unit rate or slope is equal to

$m=\ 2.50\ per\ hour$

The y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero) is equal to

$b=\ 4.00$ ----> (fee charge)

substitute the values

$y=2.50x+4.00$
