Assignment 10.1 Use the following information to answer the next three exercises. A vacation resort rents SCUBA equipment to certified divers. The resort charges an up-front fee of \( \$ 25 \) and another fee of \( \$ 12.50 \) an hour. 1. What are the dependent and independent variables? 2. Write the equation that expresses the total fee in terms of the number of hours the equipment is rented. 3. Graph the equation from \#2 in Desmos and sketch it below. Use the following information to answer the next two exercises. A credit card company charges \( \$ 10 \) when a payment is late, and \( \$ 5 \) a day each day the payment remains unpaid. 4. Write the equation that expresses the total fee in terms of the number of days the payment is late. 5. Graph the equation from \#4 in Desmos and sketch it below. 6. Is the equation \( y=10+5 x-3 x^{2} \) linear? Why or why not? 7. Which of the following equations are linear? a. \( y=6 x+8 \) b. \( y+7=3 x \) c. \( y-x=8 x^{2} \) d. \( 4 y=8 \)

1. a sports team is throwing an end-of-season party at the fitness club. The costs associated with the party include a $95 flat fee for the room rental, a $50 rental of the dining ware, and a $12.95 per person charge for the BBQ buffet. A 20% tip for the servers must be added to the cost of the food. (a) express the total cost for the party as a function of the member of people attending. (remember to define your variables. show your work and simplify your function.) (b) graph this function in an appropriate window ( remember to label axes and scale and at least 5 points clearly marked including all intercepts) (c) what is the x-intercept? what is the y-intercept and what does it mean in this context? (d) if the budget for the party is $1800, how many people can attend? (solve algebraically and graphically, show your work and explain your answer)

1. Write an equation in Slope-Intercept Form for a line that passes through (2, 2) and (0, 3). 2. Write an equation in point slope and slope-intercept that includes the points (0, 0) and (9, -3). 3. Write an equation in point-slope form that describes the line with a slope of 2 that contains the point (4, -3)? 4. A landscape service charges customers a one-time fee and an hourly rate of $15. For 3 hours of work, the company charges $75. 5. Write an equation in point-slope form. 6. How much does the landscape service charge for 12 hours of work? 7. A computer programmer charges $45 an hour for coding projects plus a start-up fee of $150. 8. Write an equation in standard form to represent the total cost t of a project that takes h hours. 9. How much does the programmer charge for a coding project that takes 25 hours? 10. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line that passes through the point (-4, 3) and is parallel to the line y = 5x + 2. 11. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line that passes through the point (6, 4) and is perpendicular to the line y = -3/2x - 4.

Find a linear function that models the cost, C, to produce x toys given the rate of change and initial output value. The cost to produce plastic toys increases by 40 cents per toy produced. The fixed cost is 90 dollars. C(x) = dollars. Write a linear model for the amount of usable fabric sheeting, F, manufactured in t minutes given the rate of change and initial output value. Fabric sheeting is manufactured on a loom at 3.75 square feet per minute. The first six square feet of the fabric is unusable. F(t) = ft² is the amount of usable fabric sheeting manufactured in t minutes.
