To help answer your questions about the linear equation representing the cost of renting a bike per hour, we can start by establishing a general format for such equations.

Typically, a linear equation in slope-intercept form is represented as: \[ y = mx + b \] where:

  • \( y \) is the total cost,
  • \( m \) is the slope (cost per hour),
  • \( x \) is the number of hours,
  • \( b \) is the y-intercept (initial cost).

Let's proceed to answer your questions assuming some values for \( m \) and \( b \). If you provide specific details or values for the slope and y-intercept, the answers might change accordingly.

  1. The linear equation written in slope-intercept form is: \[ y = mx + b \] (You should replace \( m \) and \( b \) with the specific numbers representing the cost per hour and any fixed cost, if applicable.)

  2. The cost of renting the bike for 2 hours is: \[ 2m + b \] (Again, substitute specific \( m \) and \( b \) values.)

  3. (4, _) is on the linear equation: \[ (4, 4m + b) \] (Substitute \( 4m + b \) with its calculated cost.)

  4. The point (6, 50) represents that it cost $50 to rent the bike for 6 hours: \[ 50 = 6m + b \] (This can help you calculate \( m \) or \( b \) if needed.)

  5. The y-intercept is located at: \[ (0, b) \] (Again, substitute \( b \) with the corresponding cost.)

  6. The y-intercept represents that at 0 hour(s), the cost of the bike rental is $: \[ b \]

  7. For $60, you can rent the bike for: \[ \frac{60 - b}{m} \] (Once more, substitute the corresponding values for \( m \) and \( b \).)
