To complete the equation for the situation where Luis rents a paddleboat, we typically need to identify the components based on the information in the graph provided.
The general form of the equation is: \( y = mx + b \)
Where:
- \( y \) is the total cost.
- \( x \) is the number of hours rented.
- \( m \) is the hourly fee.
- \( b \) is the deposit.
Since I don't have access to the graph you're referring to, I can guide you on what to look for.
- Determine the hourly fee (slope, \( m \)): Look for the increase in total cost (y-axis) as hours rented (x-axis) increases.
- Identify the deposit (y-intercept, \( b \)): Find where the line crosses the y-axis when no hours are rented.
Once you find these two values, plug them into the equation where \( y = \) total cost, \( x = \) number of hours, \( m = \) hourly fee, and \( b = \) deposit.
If you provide the values from the graph, I can help you complete the equation.
