Question

I NEED HELP QUICKLY PLEASE. POSSIBLY GIVING BRAINLIEST.

A computer technician charges a flat rate for home visits plus $ 55 per hour. The technician bills $190 for a 2-hour home visit to install a new hard drive. The equation y − 190 = 55(x − 2) gives the total amount y the technician charges for x hours of work.

The equation in slope-intercept form is y = 55x + 80.

What does the y-intercept in this equation represent?

a. the rate of change

b. the total cost

c. the flat rate

IT IS NOT A. I TRIED AND GOT IT WRONG.

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 190 = 55(x - 2)....distribute thru the parenthesis

y - 190 = 55x - 110....now add 190 to both sides

y = 55x - 110 + 190..simplify

y = 55x + 80 <== slope intercept form (y = mx + b)
