Real World Scenarios for Linear Function

A plumber charges $50 to make a house call plus $40 for each hour worked. Write an equation to represent this situation.

• y = 50x + 40

• y = 50x + 40x

• y = 50 + 40x

• y = 90x

The Roaming Cell Phone Company charges $15.00 per month plus $0.20 per minute of airtime usage.  If Juanita uses x minutes of airtime, what is an equation that can be used to determine her monthly cell phone bill (C)?

• C = 15 + 0.20x
• C =15 (0.20x)
• C = 15 + x + 0.20
• C = 0.20 + 15x

Bob's Plumbing charges $15 per hour plus a service fee of $40 for coming out to your house. Which equation models this situation?

• y = 15x + 40

• y = 40x + 15

• y = 15x

• y = 15x - 40

Scott's Automotive charges $35 for each car plus $7 per hour. Write an equation that represents this scenario if Kylie was charged $63.

• 35x + 7 = 63

• 7x = 63

• 7x - 35 = 63

• 7x + 35 = 63

A holiday meal cost $12.50 a person plus a delivery fee of $30. Which equation represents the amount a holiday meal costs(y), including delivery, for x people?

• y = 12.50 + 30x

• y = 30 + 12.50x

• y = 12.50 + 30

• 12.50x = 30

Eddie's Electric charges $90 per hour plus a $50 traveling fee. Which equation models this scenario?

• y = -50x + 90

• y = 90x + 50

• y = -90 - 50x

• y = 50 - 90x

Write a linear equation in the form of y=mx+b

• y= 3x + 5

• y = 5x - 3

• y = 2x + 3

• y = 5x + 3

Write a linear equation in the form of y=mx+b

• y = -4x +6

• y = 6x - 4

• y = 4x - 6

• y = 3x - 2

Write the equation of the line.

• y= -1x-3
• y= -3x-1
• y=-1/3x-1
• y= -3x-3

Write the equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

• y= -1x+3
• y= 4x+3
• y=1/4x+3
• y= -4x+3
