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.

Answer 1

To create an equation for the paddleboat rental situation, we'll need to establish a few variables based on the information typically provided by a graph (which I cannot see, but I can help guide you on how to approach this).

Let's denote:

• \( D \) as the deposit cost (a one-time fee).
• \( H \) as the hourly rental fee.
• \( t \) as the number of hours he rents the paddleboat.

The total cost \( C \) for renting the paddleboat can usually be expressed with the following equation:

\[ C = D + H \cdot t \]

To complete this equation with specific values, you would need to find the numbers for the deposit \( D \) and the hourly fee \( H \) from the graph you mentioned. Once you have those values, you can plug them into the equation:

1. Identify the \( y \)-intercept from the graph (which represents the deposit).
2. Find the slope of the line (which represents the hourly fee).
3. Substitute these values into \( D \) and \( H \).

If you provide the numbers from the graph you’re referring to, I can give you the complete equation.
