Question 592881: Assume there is a linear relationship:
Renting a boat for 2 days costs $66. Renting the boat for 5 days costs $150.
a) write a linear equation using days and cost
b) Use equation to find the cost of renting a boat for 9 days Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You are given 2 points on the graph of your linear function. At 2 the value of the function is 66. At 5 the value of the function is 150. Hence your points are and
Use the two-point form of an equation of a line:
where and are the coordinates of the given points.
Once you have written and simplified your equation, substitute 9 for and solve for
