Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet and that it is receding at a rate of 0.5 foot per day. Write an equation to represent the given situation.

• y = -0.5x + 34

• y = -34x + 0.5

• y - 34 = 0.5(x - 1)

• 34x - 0.5y = 33.5

1) A plumber charges $25 for a service call plus $50 per hour of service. Write an equation for the given situation.

• y = 50x + 25

• y = 25x + 50

• y - 50 = 1(x - 25)

• 25x + 50y = 75

1) A car is driving down from the top of a Colorado mountain. The elevation at the top of the mountain is 13,500 feet. Every minute of driving, the car’s elevation decreases by 150 feet. Write an equation to represent the given situation.

• y = 150x + 13,500

• y = -150x + 13,500

• y - 13,500 = -(x - 150)

• 150x + 13,500y = 13,750

The Joyner’s swimming pool currently has 30 inches of water in it. In the spring, Mr. Joyner will refill the swimming pool by adding water at a rate of 2 inches per hour. Write an equation to represent the given situation.

• y = -2x + 30

• y = 2x + 30

• y - 30 = 2(x - 0)

• -2x + 30y = 28
