y = mx +b
y = 55x + 85

Answer 31

equation*

Answer 32

yes that's right

Answer 33

what is slope of table ??

Answer 34

65

Answer 35

yes so got the answer :)

Answer 37

?you there

Answer 38

yes

Answer 39

65 at the bottom and 55 at the top?

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

The equation y = 55x + 85 describes the amount of money a plumber charges <-- they told u plumber charges
he table shows the total amount of money an electrician charges.

Answer 42

Plumber charges $85 on top of a $55 per hour fee thus y=55x+85
Electrician charges 115 after 1 hour and 180 after 2 hours
the difference between 1 hour and 2 hours for the electricians additional charge is the difference between his 1 hour charge and 2 hour charge (115-180=65) yay
per hour will be the 1 hour charge minus the additional fee (115-65=50)
so the plumbers hourly rate is 55 while the electricians is 50.
The moral of the story..be a plumber for the extra 5 an hour

Answer 43

Plumber: 55
Electrician: 65
confirmed 100%
