Sierra is going bowling with some of her friends. It will cost her $3.00 to rent her shoes and $4.50 per game that she plays. Let "g" be the number of games she plays. What is the equation in slope intercept form to find the number of games Sierra plays?
Y=4.50g+3
Because every time she plays a game it will cost her 4.50 but she doesn't have to rent shoes every time, just once. So for example if she choose two play 4 games then the cost would be 4.50(4)+3
To find the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to express the total cost as a function of the number of games played.
The total cost consists of two parts: the cost of renting shoes ($3.00) and the cost of playing games ($4.50 per game). Since the cost per game is constant, we can write the equation as:
Total Cost = Cost of Shoes + (Cost per Game) * Number of Games
Total Cost = $3.00 + $4.50 * g
Where g represents the number of games Sierra plays.
In slope-intercept form, the equation is y = mx + b, where y represents the dependent variable (Total Cost), m represents the slope, x represents the independent variable (Number of Games), and b represents the y-intercept (Cost of Shoes).
So, the equation in slope-intercept form to find the number of games Sierra plays is:
Total Cost = (4.50 * g) + 3.00
Simplified:
y = 4.50g + 3.00
