Question

Mr. Vasco operates a bike rental service in the park. Initially it costs Php 15 to rent a bike, and an additional Php 5 for every hour you use it. Give the equation
that models the situation and show the graph representing the cost (y) of using
the bike for (x) hours.
what is the equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is y=5x+15.

Answer 2

Given:

Initial cost of renting a bike$= \text { Php } 15$

Additional added cost for every hour$= \text { Php } 5$

To formulate: the required equation and show the graph that represents the cost (y) of using  the bike for (x) hours.

Solution:

Form the equation according to the conditions given in the question.

Assume that, x is the number of hours and y is the number of hours the bike was rented.

$y=15+5x$

Substitute the value for $x=1,2,3,4,5,...$

Therefore, the value of y will be $y=20,25,30,35,40$.

Draw the required graph.

Hence, the required equation is $y=15+5x$ the graph is as follows:
