Someone wanna help on this one? The Chain Reaction bike shop is running a special that allows a family to rent all the bikes and equipment they need for an hourly rate and a nonrefundable $15 deposit. The Morales family can rent bikes for 2 hours for $57. The cost of the rental can be represented by a linear function where x represents the number of hours the bikes are rented and y represents the total cost of the rental. What is the equation here and what are the slope and y-intercept?

Answer:

y=21x+15,

where 21 is the hourly rate and the slope, 15 is the non-refundable deposit, and y is the total amount payed

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is the hourly rate, the y int is the deposit of 15$

thus,

to find the slope, we can use the equation:

57=m*2+15

42=2m

m=42/2

m=21

thus, the whole equation is:

y=21x+15, where 21 is the hourly rate and the slope, 15 is the non-refundable deposit, and y is the total amount payed
