M A windshield repair company will fix the first chip in your windshield for $1.50. Each
additional chip will cost $3.50. Write an equation that represents the cost for fixing x
amount of chips.
Question: Write a linear equation for the following information.
Step 1: Find the slope: Look for words like “per," or "each."
**If the question asks for total cost, it's positive. If it's asking for how much is left, then it's negative.
Step 2: Find the y-intercept: Remember that the y-intercept are initial values, what you started off with.
Step 3. Put it together in the form of y= mx + b
