Question

You rent a jet ski at the beach. The cost for the jet ski is $60 plus $6 per hour to cover the cost of gas. You can only rent the jet ski for a maximum of 5 hours.

Part A: Create a graph that represents the linear relationship between the price, y, and the number of hours you can rent the jet ski, x. Make sure to label your x and y axis.

(4 points)

Question 2
Part B: What is an appropriate range for the given situation?

Answer 1

Part A
- Equation: y = 60 + 6x
- Label axes: x-axis: "Hours (x)" ; y-axis: "Price in dollars (y)"
- Key points to plot: (0, 60) (y‑intercept) and (5, 90). Draw a straight line through these points (slope = 6, meaning price rises $6 per hour).
- Domain (hours): 0 ≤ x ≤ 5

Part B
- Appropriate range (price): 60 ≤ y ≤ 90 (dollars).
