Question 1097666: A health club membership costs $95, plus $46 per momth. Let C represent the number of months and Y represent the cost in dollars. How much does this first year's membership cost?
a) write an equation in the form of y=mx + b
b) find and interpet the ordered pair associated with the equation for x=5
c) answer the question
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When x=0, the cost is still $95, so that is the y-intercept
y=95+46x, where x=the number of months
when x=5, 46x=$230 and y=$325, so (5, $325), total cost for 5 months' membership.
for a year x=12, 46*12=$552, and y=$552+$95=$647.
