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 based on the description provided, we can represent the total cost (y) of renting the paddleboat as a function of the number of hours (x) rented.

  1. Y-axis (total cost) ranges from 0 to 60, with increments of 10, indicating that the total cost could be between $0 and $60.
  2. X-axis (hours) ranges from 0 to 6 hours.

Assuming:

  • The intercept on the y-axis (when x = 0) is the deposit.
  • The slope of the line represents the hourly fee.

From the line graph data, we would generally identify two points to derive the slope (hourly fee) and the y-intercept (deposit).

However, since I cannot see the graph, I cannot provide specific numbers for the equation. But the equation would typically look like:

\(y = mx + b\)

Where:

  • \(m\) is the hourly fee (slope),
  • \(b\) is the deposit (y-intercept).

Once the values are derived from the graph, you can substitute them into the equation to get:

\(y = \) (hourly fee) \(x + \) (deposit).

If you can provide specific values from the graph, I would be able to help you complete the equation accurately!
