idk what is this one
hmm i tried doing the 7 and adding on the other one and then i multiplied the number 400 and then i think that u have to divide it from the month.\[7\]
You have to write a linear equation That would be in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Look at this similar question to see where the numbers belong You have a shop and you sell the best burgers in Manhattan. Each burger costs 5 dollars. No matter how many burgers you sell to a customer, you charge 3 dollars as a transaction cost. So if you were to write this as an equation in the form of y = mx + b if we say that the number of burgers you're selling is 'x' and the total cost for the customer for 'x' burgers is 'y' dollars the equation would be y = 5x + 3 the cost of one burger is y = 5*(1) + 3 y = 8 the cost of two burgers is y = 5*(2) + 3 y = 13 each burger costs 5 dollars so 5 is 'm' or the slope and 3 is the constant or y-intercept because it's a one time charge
so think of your question just like that x is the number of kilo-watt hours used it costs 7.198 cents per kilo-watt hour (remember you have to divide this by 100 because 7 cents is 0.07 so how much is 7.198 cents?) 7.08 dollars is the one time charge or the constant in the equation so can you write the equation now?
