You plan to meet a friend at a local bowling alley on Sunday afternoon. Prior to bowling, you must pay an initial fee of $6.00 to rent shoes and will then pay $4.00 per game you play. Which equation (written in slope-intercept form) best models this scenario? Let y represent your total cost and x represent the number of games you play. Group of answer choices y = 4x + 6 y = 2x + 6 y = 6x + 4 y = 4x

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]y = 4x + 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Fee = \$6.00[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \$4.00[/tex]

Required

Derive the linear equation

Let the number of games be x.

Let the total cost be y

So, if the rate of 1 game is $4

Then x games costs 4x

The total cost (y) is then calculated as:

y = Initial Fee + Cost of x games

Substitute values for initial fee and cost of x games

[tex]y = 6 + 4x[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]y = 4x + 6[/tex]
