Question

For babysitting, Nicole charges a flat fee of $3, plus $5 per hour. Write an equation for the cost, C, after h hours of babysitting. What do you think the slope and the y- intercept represent? How much money will she make if she baby-sits 5 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of hours of babysitting.

C represents the total cost of babysitting for h hours.

For babysitting, Nicole charges a flat fee of $3, plus $5 per hour. Therefore, the equation would be

C = 5h + 3

Comparing the equation with the slope intercept form, y = mx + c,

The slope = 5

The y intercept = 3

If she babysits for 5 hours, the cost would bee

C = 5 × 5 + 3

C = $28
