It cost $10 flat fee to rent a chain saw plus $2 a day starting with the first day. Let x represent the number of days rented so y represents the charge to the user (in dollars). Write an equation in the form y=mx+b that represents this situation. y=____

A chain-saw rental firm charges $17 per day or fraction of a day to rent a saw, plus a fixed fee of $4 for re-sharpening the blade. Additional portions of a day are considered to be a full day's rental, so rounding upward to identify an entire rental period may be necessary. Let S(x) represent the cost of renting a saw for x days. Complete parts (a) through (h) below. (h) A portion of the graph of y = S(x) is shown here. Explain how the graph could be continued. A. Find the total number of days someone could rent a saw for and end the y-axis at that point. Continue to graph functions until the maximum. B. Draw a line through each open circle. C. Find the cost of renting a saw for more than 2 days and less than or equal to 3 days and graph the amount. Do the same for all days and fractions of

For each situation, (a) write an equation in the form $y=m x+b,(b)$ find and interpret the ordered pair associated with the equation for $x=5,$ and $(c)$ answer the question. There is a $\$ 30$ fee to rent a chain saw, plus $\$ 6$ per day. Let $x$ represent the number of days the saw is rented and $y$ represent the charge to the user in dollars. If the total charge is $\$ 138,$ for how many days is the saw rented?
