You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Do you want to find the equation for the cost or total bill?

y=mx+b
x is number of hours spent on the work or job
m is slope, corresponding to hourly rate
b is vertical axis intercept, corresponding to what the shop charges regardless of the time spent on the work.


y=25x+50
