A car repair shop charges an hourly rate plus a pickup and delivery fee. The graph below represents the relationship between the total cost of the repair, including pickup and delivery fee, and the number of hours it takes the shop to complete the repairs. CAR REPAIR COST A. What is the y-intercept? B. Choose two points from the graph: ___________ and ___________ Find the slope of the line using the formula: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) C. What equation represents this linear function?
