Question
In the equation $y=5 x+3, y$ represents the total cost of a trip to the aquarium for $x$ people in a car. Name the slope and $y$-intercept of the graph of the equation and explain what each value represents.
Step 1
The equation is in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, the slope (m) is 5, and the y-intercept (b) is 3. Show more…
