It costs $7 to become a member at a movie rental store and $1 to rent a movie. Let C represent your total cost for movies for the first month. Let x represent the number of movies you rent. Write the equation representing the cost. Plot points for your cost if you rent 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 movies. Then draw a line through the points. a) Find the slope of that line.
@nikato can you help me?
If x is the # of movies you rented and each movie cost 1, then how much would pay if you wanted to rent x number of movies
1x+7?
Correct. So your whole equation is 1x+7=C And now can you plot the points on your own? Plug in 1-6 for x and solve for C. Plot the 6 points one the graph
later on they ask for the c intercept what does that mean?
It's the y-intercept.
so 7
Correct
and the slope is 1
Yes
look at it this was @michelle.k , your C or total cost is merely a fnc of your membership fee and movie rental
thank you
