Question

The Body for Life gym charges $15 a month membership fee and a $2 per day usage fee. What does the ordered pair (13, 41) mean?

Answer 1

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of usage days

y ---> the total charge monthly in dollars

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

$m=\ 2\ per\ day\ usage$

$b=\ 15$

substitute

$y=2x+15$

we have the ordered pair (13,41)

For x=13 usage days

$y=2(13)+15$

$y=\ 41$

therefore

That means---->  Total charge in one month for 13 days of use is $41
