Question

What is the equation of the problem situation? (Use frame 5 in Jamboard to answer this question) Make sure you are using the slope of the line formula y=mx+b and don't type any spaces.

Answer 1

`y = 2x + 5`

Explanation:

Using the slope-intercept form equation,
`y = mx + b`, where,

y = total cost

x = hour

m = slope, which is the hourly charge = $2

b = y-intercept, which is the flat fee, or starting fee paid for bring your car into the garage = $5

Substitute m = 2 and b = 5 into
`y = mx + b`.

✅Thus, the equation that represents the problem situation would be:

`y = 2x + 5`
