A cable TV company charges $26 for the basic service plus $6 for each movie channel. Let y be the total cost in dollars of subscribing to cable TV, using x movie channels. Find the slope-intercept form of the equation.
The slope-intercept form of an equation is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
In this case, the basic service is charged at a rate of $26 and each movie channel is charged at a rate of $6, so we can represent the total cost, y, as:
y = 6x + 26
Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is y = 6x + 26.
