Question

For the following situation (a) write an equation in the form y = mx + b (b) find and interpret the ordered pair associated with the equation for x = 5 and (c) answer the question A health club membership costs $83 plus $45 per month Let x represent the number of months and y represent the cost in dollars How much does the first year's membership (a) Write an equation in the form y = mx + b that represents this situation (Type an equation Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation.) (b) Find and interpret the ordered pair associated with the equation for x = 5. The ordered pair associated with the equation for x = 5 b (Type an ordered pair.) This pair indicates that the cost for a! month membership is $. (c) How much does the first year's membership cost? $ (Simplify your answer.)

Explanation / Answer

a) y = cost and x = months

So, y = mx + b

y = 45x + 83, as it costs $45 per month

b) If x = 5

y = 45*5 + 83

y = 308

Pair = (5,308)

Cost of 5 month membership is $308

c) First year membership:

For x = 12 months,

cost = 45*12+83 = $623
