Answer 1

To help answer your questions about the linear equation representing the cost of renting a bike per hour, we can start by establishing a general format for such equations.

Typically, a linear equation in slope-intercept form is represented as:
\[
y = mx + b
\]
where:
- \( y \) is the total cost,
- \( m \) is the slope (cost per hour),
- \( x \) is the number of hours,
- \( b \) is the y-intercept (initial cost).

Let's proceed to answer your questions assuming some values for \( m \) and \( b \). If you provide specific details or values for the slope and y-intercept, the answers might change accordingly.

1) The linear equation written in slope-intercept form is:
\[ y = mx + b \]
(You should replace \( m \) and \( b \) with the specific numbers representing the cost per hour and any fixed cost, if applicable.)

2) The cost of renting the bike for 2 hours is:
\[ 2m + b \]
(Again, substitute specific \( m \) and \( b \) values.)

3) (4, \_) is on the linear equation:
\[ (4, 4m + b) \]
(Substitute \( 4m + b \) with its calculated cost.)

4) The point (6, 50) represents that it cost $50 to rent the bike for 6 hours:
\[ 50 = 6m + b \]
(This can help you calculate \( m \) or \( b \) if needed.)

5) The y-intercept is located at:
\[ (0, b) \]
(Again, substitute \( b \) with the corresponding cost.)

6) The y-intercept represents that at 0 hour(s), the cost of the bike rental is $:
\[ b \]

7) For $60, you can rent the bike for:
\[ \frac{60 - b}{m} \]
(Once more, substitute the corresponding values for \( m \) and \( b \).)
