An electrician charges a fee of $55 plus $40 per hour. Let y be the cost in dollars of using the electrician for x hours. Find the slope-intercept form of the equation. I got y=55x+40, is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or would that be reversed and become y=40x + 55... I think THAT'S the right one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it would because 40 multiplied by x would be the hourly fee o _ o

Yes, the second is correct.
