Linear Forms with Story Problems Graphing

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

In order to join an online learning community, there is a $20 startup fee and a $5 monthly fee. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation.

• y = 20x + 5

• y = 5x +20

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 = 30,000ft - 2,000ft(x)
• y = 30,000ft + 2,000ft(x)
• y = 30,000ft(x) - 2,000ft

A canoe rental service charges a $20 transportation fee and $30 dollars an hour to rent a canoe. Write an equation representing the cost, y, of renting a canoe for x hours. 

• y = 20 + 30x
• y = 30 + 20x
• y = 50x
• y = 60x

How would you write the equation with a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of -3

• y=3/2x+3
• y=2/3-3
• y=2/3x-3
• y=2/3x+3

A large one-topping pizza costs $8.99. Additional toppings are $0.49 each. How much would a pizza cost, c, if there are t additional toppings?

• c = 0.49t + 8.99
• c = 0.49t - 8.99
• c = -0.49 + 8.99
• c = -0.49 - 8.99
