To paint a house, a painting company charges a flat rate of $500 for supplies, plus $50 for each hour of labor. How much would the painting company charge to paint a house that needs 20 hours of labor? A house that needs 50 hours? Draw a line representing the relationship between \(x\), the number of hours it takes the painting company to finish the house, and \(y\), the total cost of painting the house. Label the two points from the earlier question on your graph.

Tyler and Elena are on the cross country team. Tyler's distances and times for a training run are shown on the graph. Description:

graph, horizontal axis, distance in miles, scale 0 to 4, by 1's. vertical axis, time in minutes, scale 0 to 190, by 2's. line passes through the origin and 1 comma 8 and the fraction 1 over 3.

Elena’s distances and times for a training run are given by the equation \(y=8.5x\), where \(x\) represents distance in miles and \(y\) represents time in minutes. Who ran farther in 10 minutes? How much farther? Explain how you know.
