Linear Word Problems Practice Slope Intercept Form

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

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