The initial value is $120.
The initial value is $120.

The initial value is $50 and the rate of change is $70.
The initial value is $50 and the rate of change is $70.

The rate of change is $120.
The rate of change is $120.

The initial value if $70 and the rate of change is $50.

Answer 1

The correct response is:
The initial value is $50 and the rate of change is $70.
The equation in slope-intercept form is: y = 70x + 50
where y represents the total cost, x represents the number of hours, 70 is the rate of change, and 50 is the initial value.
