Question

A computer technician charges a fee of $50 to diagnose a problem and $70 per hour to fix it. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent this situation. Identify the initial value and the rate of change.(1 point) Responses The initial value is $50 and the rate of change is $70. The initial value is $50 and the rate of change is $70. The initial value is $120. The initial value is $120. The initial value if $70 and the rate of change is $50. The initial value if $70 and the rate of change is $50. The rate of change is $120.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of hours worked.

The equation in slope-intercept form is:
y = 70x + 50

The initial value is $50 and the rate of change is $70 per hour.
