Question

C=50x+125 use slope intercept?

Answer 1

That appears to be in slope intercept form. What are you asked to solve?

Answer 2

A plumber charges a service call of $125 every time he visits your home. In addition his fee includes a charge of $50 per hour. What is the cost for a service call that lasts x number of hours?

Answer 3

How would you solve that step my step?

Answer 4

So you are being asked to solve for 'x' hours. You aren't given a dollar value as a total so the one method is to manipulate it so that x is by itself.

Answer 5

Arguable the form you have it in would allow you to calculate the 'x' hour charge. The lesson surrounding this homework might give you a better clue as to the format the instructor is after.

Answer 6

If this is a lesson in beginning algebra it could be expected that your only requirement is to write the form you posted here. A means of getting you to read a word problem and translate that to algebra.

Answer 7

So C=50x+125 woul dbe the final answer?

Answer 8

Depending on the level you are currently learning, yes, it is possible that you are only required to translate the word problem. There is nothing here for you to solve.

Answer 9

Ok thank you .

Answer 10

You did all of it but you are welcome. :)

Answer 11

can you make another word problem using slope intercept?(:

Answer 12

Help me make another word problem please?

Answer 13

What is your word problem?

Answer 14

No i need to create one

Answer 15

Can you help me create a word problem using sope intercept?

Answer 16

The temperature today started at -20 and rose at a steady rate of 6 degrees per hour, what was the temperature after 'x' hours?

Answer 17

A tow truck charges $75 for a call out fee and $13 per mile towed, how much would it cost you to be towed 'x' miles?

Answer 18

THNANK YOU SOO MUCH ! !!!!(: I used the first one so how your you solv e it or the equation?

Answer 19

Use the OP as a model and see what you can get. :)

Answer 20

So y=75x+13? Sorry im not good at this

Answer 21

Close, $75 is the call out fee, that means that whatever is charged, 75 is added to it. So you are looking for y=mx+b, so what is changing in the tow truck example?

Answer 22

So you would change up the 75 nd the 13?

Answer 23

Yes, it doesn't matter how many miles you go because 75 will still be added to it. What does matter is how many miles you go because you are charged 13 for every mile.

Answer 24

Ok ok so it would be y=13x+75?

Answer 25

You got it. :)

Answer 26

Ah thank you so much (:

Answer 27

You are welcome.
