The Center charges an additional $2:00 for each day the child is not picked up by 5:00pm
---------
1a)Write an equation for the cost of day care between the week of y in terms of x, the number of days that the child stays beyond 5:00pm (Also find slope using
y = 350 + 2x

======================
1b)Define the slope
slope = 2
===========================
1c)What is the charge for 1 week for a child who was picked up at the following times
Monday at 5:00--------70
Tuesday at 5:10-------72
Wednesday at 6:00-----72
Thursday at 5:00------70
