Answer:

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

A plumber chargers $50 for a service call plus $75 per hour. The total of these costs (in dollars) is a function C(t) of the tim

STatiana [176]

So cost=50+75t
so 200=50+75t
subtract 50 from both sides
150=75t
divide both sides by 75
2=t
$200=2 hours

50+75t=cost
300=50+75t
subtract 50 from both sides
250=75t
divide both sides by 75
10/3=t=200 mins=3hours 20 mins=$300
