To paint a house, a painting company charges a flat rate of $275 for supplies plus $60 per hour of labor. Write a linear equation for tis situation and explain the slope and y-intercept in this context.
the slope would be 60 as it is the rate being charged per hour, the y intercept (b) is the initial y value at x=0 and since the company charges 275 before they do any work, that would be the y intercept.
