Answer:
[tex]y=2.50x+4.00[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of hours
y ----> the total cost to rent a bike in dollars
we know that
The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
where
m is the slope or the unit rate of the linear equation
b is the y-intercept or the initial value
In this problem we have
The unit rate or slope is equal to
[tex]m=\$2.50\ per\ hour[/tex]
The y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero) is equal to
[tex]b=\$4.00[/tex] ----> (fee charge)
substitute the values
[tex]y=2.50x+4.00[/tex]
