write the equation in slope intercept form with no spaces. y=(m)x+b
You plan to go snowboarding this weekend in Pennsylvania . The resort charges $15.75 per hour in addition to a $25 deposit to rent a snowboard. Write and solve the equation to find the total cost to rent a snowboard from 8:30 am until 12:30 pm
To find the total cost to rent a snowboard from 8:30 am until 12:30 pm, we need to determine the number of hours spent snowboarding.
The given time duration is 4 hours, and the resort charges $15.75 per hour. Thus, the time duration can be represented as:
Total cost = (number of hours spent) * (cost per hour)
Total cost = 4 * $15.75
Next, we need to add the $25 deposit to the total cost to find the final equation:
y = (m)x + b
where,
y represents the total cost,
m represents the cost per hour = $15.75, and
x represents the number of hours spent = 4.
b represents the deposit = $25.
Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form with no spaces is:
y = (15.75)(4) + 25
