An electrician charges 110 after 2 hours of work and 190 for 4 hours of work. Write a linear equation in point-slope form that represents the total cost (y) as a function of the number of hours worked (x).

y = 40x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear function is given by:

y = mx + b;

where y and x are variables, m is the slope or rate of change of the function and b is the initial value of y at x = 0 (that is y intercept).

Let y represent the total cost and x represent the number of hours worked.

The electrician charges 110 after 2 hours of work and 190 for 4 hours of work.

Representing in coordinate form as (x, y) we get:

(2, 110) and (4, 190)

The equation of the function can be gotten using the formula:

Therefore:

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
