Answer 1

To complete the equation for the situation involving Luis renting a paddleboat, we need to identify the variables from the graph:

• Let \( y \) be the total cost of renting the paddleboat.
• Let \( x \) be the number of hours Luis rents the paddleboat.

From the description, we know there is a deposit and an hourly fee, and from the graph, we can determine the cost structure.

You would typically find the y-intercept (the initial deposit cost) and the slope (the hourly fee).

Assuming the graph shows:

1. A starting point at \( y = \) some deposit amount when \( x = 0 \) (this would give us the y-intercept).
2. As \( x \) increases, \( y \) increases at a constant rate reflecting the hourly fee.

If you can provide specific points or the slope of the graph, I can give you more precise values to complete the equation. But generically, it would be structured like:

\[ y = mx + b \]

Where \( m \) is the hourly fee (slope), and \( b \) is the deposit amount (y-intercept).

Please provide the details from the graph to get the accurate equation.
