A line graph with x-axis ranging from 0 to 6 in unit increment and y-axis ranging from 0 to 60 in increments of 10.

Luis rents a paddleboat to use at West Park for the day. He has to pay a deposit and an hourly fee. Using information from the graph, enter the values that complete the equation for this situation.

To complete the equation \( y = mx + b \) based on a line graph, we need to identify the values of the slope (m), the y-intercept (b), and any data points that correspond to the x and y values on the graph.

  1. Identify the y-intercept (b): This is the value of y when x = 0, which is the starting point of the line on the y-axis.

  2. Determine the slope (m): The slope represents the rate at which y changes for each unit increase in x. It can be calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x between two points on the line.

If you are able to provide a description of the values or points from the line graph, I can help you find the equation that reflects Luis's paddleboat rental costs. Alternatively, if you have specific numerical values from the graph, please share those as well.
