A plumber charges a consultation fee of $25 then charges $60 an hour. Write a linear equation to model this situation. (1 point) y = 60x + 25 O y = 25x + 60; C = 25x + 60y; C = 60x + 25y

Answer 1

To model the situation with a linear equation, we define:

• \( y \) as the total cost (in dollars),
• \( x \) as the number of hours worked.

The plumber charges a consultation fee of $25 and $60 for each hour of service. Thus, the total cost can be represented as:

\[ y = 60x + 25 \]

So the correct equation is:

\[ y = 60x + 25 \]
