Suppose that a bike rents for $4 plus $1.50 per hour. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation. After how many hours will the bike rental cost a total of $10? Can you explain or show work so I can understand ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Equation: y=1.5x+4          Will total $10 after 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Format: y=mx+b

y is total cost

m is per hour

b is starting cost

Equation: y=1.5x+4

After 4 hours, it will be $10 because:

10=1.5x+4

subtract 4 both sides

6=1.5x

divide 6 by 1.5

4=x

Hence the 4 hours answer
