Question

Find the rate of change (slope) An electrician charges $40.00 service plus $50.00 per hour worked Write an equation for the total charge (T) of the electrician for h hours worked

Answer 1

We can write:
\[y = 50x + 40\]

Where x represents the hours worked, 50 is his rate per hour, and 40 is his initial service charge, aka the y intercept.

Answer 2

So the graph intercepts the y axis at 40, then has a slope of 50/1

ok now i have to Write an equation for the total charge (T) of the electrician for h hours worked

Answer 6

Basically replace y with T and x with h
