The line models the cost of renting a kayak write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line, where x is the number of hours the kayak is rented and y is the total cost of renting the kayak.​

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]y=3x+7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is attached.

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

The slope can be found with this formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We can pick the points on the given line:

[tex](1,10)\\(3,16)[/tex]

We can say that:

[tex]y_2=16\\y_1=10\\\\x_2=3\\x_1=1[/tex]

Then, substituting values into the formula, we get:

[tex]m=\frac{16-10}{3-1}=3[/tex]

Now we need to substitute the slope and the coordinates of one of the points into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] and then solve for "b":

[tex]10=(3)(1)+b\\\\10-3=b\\\\b=7[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of this line in Slope-Intercept form, is:

[tex]y=3x+7[/tex]
