The correct equation to describe this problem is: y = 100 + 35x.
In this equation, "y" represents the total fee charged by the accountant and "x" represents the number of hours it takes to complete the taxes.
The accountant charges a flat fee of $100, represented by the constant term 100. In addition to this, the accountant charges an additional $35 per hour, represented by the coefficient of x, which is 35. This means that for each hour it takes to complete the taxes, the fee increases by $35.
(Slope-Intercept Form MC)
An accountant charges a fee of $100 to complete a company's taxes. The accountant also charges an additional $35 per hour to complete the taxes. Which of the following equations can be used to describe this problem?
y = 35 − 100x
y = 35 + 100x
y = 100 − 35x
y = 100 + 35x
