A computer technician charges a fee of $50 to diagnose a problem and $70 per hour to fix it. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent this situation.
The equation in slope-intercept form is:
Total cost = $50 + $70 * hours
where:
Total cost is the total amount charged by the technician
$50 is the flat fee to diagnose the problem
$70 is the hourly rate to fix the problem
hours is the number of hours the technician works on fixing the problem.
