Question

Help please, not good with graphs
Charlie wants to compare bike rental companies while he is on vacation. Handlebar Mania has a
flat rate of $50 for all day. Peddle­Me­Faster has no initial charge, but it is $10 per hour. Two­Wheelin'
only charges $5 per hour, but it has an initial charge of $20.
Explain to Charlie how he can graph these bike rental charges and describe what key features of the
graphs he should consider when making a decision.

Answer 1

Okay. So...let's have y=total price, and x=number of hours
"Handlebar Mania has a flat rate of $50 for all day."
y=50
"Peddle­Me­Faster has no initial charge, but it is $10 per hour."
y=10x
"Two­Wheelin' only charges $5 per hour, but it has an initial charge of $20."

Can you try to make the equation to model that situation?
