Slope Intercept from Words

In order to join an online learning community, there is a $20 startup fee and a $5 monthly fee. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation.

• y = 20x + 5

• y = 5x +20

• y=-5x + 20

• y = 5x - 20

Suppose that a bike rents for $4 plus $1.50 per hour. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation.

• y = 4x + 1.50

• y = 1.50x + 4

• y = -4x +1.50

• y = 4x - 1.50

An airplane 30,000 feet above the ground begins descending at a rate of 2,000 feet per minute. Write an equation to model the situation.

• y = - 2,000x + 30,000

• y = - 2,000x - 30,000

• y = 30,000x + 2,000

• y = -30,000x + 2,000

A canoe rental service charges a $20 transportation fee and $30 dollars an hour to rent a canoe. Write an equation representing the cost, y, of renting a canoe for x hours.

• y = 30x + 20

• y = 20x + 30

• y = 50x

• y = 60x
