Rate of change and initial value from scenarios and graphs

If chocolate chip cookies cost $3.00 per cookie plus $2 for boxing them up in a decorated box, what would the equation be for this relationship if x is the number of cookies and y is the total cost?

• y= 3 + 2x

• y= 3x + 2

• y= 3x + 2x

• y= 5x

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
