If we are to write this equation in slope-intercept form, it will be in y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept. We need then to find the slope of the line using 2 points on the line and filling in the slope formula to find the slope. One of the points we can use is (0, 3) which is also the y intercept. The y-intercept is found where x = 0. Where x = 0, y = 3. So b = 3. Now for the slope we will use (0,3) and (4,4):
. Using that m value and that b value we have the equation
. There you go!

length = 1/2 w+9
perimeter= 60 =2(l+w)
substitute in for length
60 = 2(1/2 w +9 +w)
60 = 2 (3/2 w +9)
distribute
60 = 3w + 18
subtract 18 from each side
42 = 3w
divide by 3 on each side
14 = w
length = 1/2 w + 9
length = 1/2 (14) +9
7 + 9

To answer b - You need to find how much it costs to rent a bike per hour. To do this divide the over all cost ($12) by your amount of time (3 hrs) to get $4 per hour. Same with the $20 per 5 hours!
