Answer:
Part A) y=1,100x + 4,500
Part B) 14,400
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
There is a base fee of $4,500, meaning that the line begins at y=4500 (i.e. The y-intercept is [0,4500], so 'b' in y=mx+b is 4,500). There is a $1,100 hourly rate, which is proportional to the value of x, the amount of hours filmed. Therefore, 'm' in y=mx+b is $1,100.
Thus, the final equation looks like:
y= 1,100x + 4,500
Part B)
x=9
y=1,100x+4,500
y=1,100(9)+4,500
y=9,900+4,500
y=14,400
