The equation c = 0.20t + 3.50 shows the relationship between the charge c in dollars for renting a kayak for t minutes.What is the meaning of the y-intercept?

• It costs $3.50 per minute to rent a kayak.

• For $0 you can rent a kayak for 3.5 minutes.

• Every 3.50 minutes, you have to pay $1.00.

• You have to pay $3.50 up front before using the kayak.

The equation c = 0.20t + 3.50 shows the relationship between the charge c in dollars for renting a kayak for t minutes.  What is the meaning of the slope of the equation?

• For $1.00, you can rent a kayak for 20 minutes.

• It costs $0.20 per minute to rent the kayak.

• You have to pay $0.20 up front before using the kayak at all.

• Every .2 minutes, you have to pay $1.00.

Randy charges his tenants $400 each month to rent his houses plus $600 security deposit. In the new year, the property taxes increased on the area where he rents so as a result he must increase the rate of change by $25 to ensure his profits are not harmed. What equation best represents how much his tenants will now have to pay?

• y = 425x + 600

• y = 425 + 600x

• y = 400x + 625

• y = 400 + 625x
