The function rule is:
y = 4.50x + 8.00
where:
y = amount charged to mow lawns for x hours
x = number of hours mowing
The $4.50 per hour represents Max's hourly rate and the $8.00 represents his transportation expenses. By multiplying the hourly rate by the number of hours, we get the labor cost and adding the transportation expenses gives the total amount charged.
