Answer:
y = 1/40x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept equation format:
y = mx + b
m = slope/ gradient/ constant of variation/ rate of change
b = y-intercept
To find the slope, use the formula:

Find two random points:
1 - (0.5, 40) , 2 - (1, 60)
Plug in:

Solve:

Divide:

The y-intercept is when the x-coordinate is equal to 0.
The y-intercept is always the beginning.
So observing the graph, the first point is (0, 20)
The x-coordinate is 0.
Y intercept = 20.
Plug in both slope and y-intercept:
y = 1/40x + 20
Part 1:-
- cost to park of a day is= $25+$43+$61+$79 =$208
- and the hourly rate to a paddle boat =208÷24=$8.6 per hour

<h3>What will Lin pay if she rents a paddleboat for 3.5 hours and splits the total cost with a friend? Completethe explanation.</h3>
The total cost to rent the boat will be
