Slope Intercept Form Word Problems

Suppose that a bike rents for $4 plus $1.50 per hour. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation.

• y = 4x + 1.50

• y = 1.50x + 4

• y = -4x +1.50

• y = 4x - 1.50

An airplane 30,000 feet above the ground begins descending at a rate of 2,000 feet per minute. Write an equation to model the situation.

• y = - 2,000x + 30,000

• y = - 2,000x - 30,000

• y = 30,000x + 2,000

• y = -30,000x + 2,000

A plumber charges $25 for a service call plus $50 per hour of service. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the cost, C, after h hours of service.

• C = 50h + 25

• C = 25h + 50

• C = 50h - 25

• H = 25h - 50
