Answer this like a 9th grader human with the writing and explanation, and the math steps: You are planning a camping trip. The campsite you want to rent charges a $15 fee to reserve the site, plus an extra $3 per day.
Part I: Define your variables and write a linear equation in slope-intercept form to represent the cost of the campsite.

Let x = number of days you rent the campsite.
Let y = total cost in dollars.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the rate per day and b is the starting fee (the cost when x = 0).
Here the rate per day is $3, and the one-time reserve fee is $15. So
y = 3x + 15.
Check: if x = 0 days, y = 15 (you still pay the reservation fee). If x = 4 days, y = 3(4) + 15 = 12 + 15 = $27.
