For babysitting nicole charges a flat fee of $3 plus $5 per hour write an equation for the cost c after h hours of babysitting. what do you think the slope and the y-intercept represent? how much money will she make if she baby-sits 5 hours?

For the linear equation y = mx + b, m is the slope (the change in y for a change in x) and b is the y intercept, i.e. the value of y when x is zero.  For this problem, b (y-intercept) is the money Nicole would make even if the hours she babysits was zero, i.e. the flat fee.  Therefore, b = $3.  The slope m is the money she makes babysitting per hour, i.e. $5.  Therefore, the equation is

    y = 5*x + 3.

In function notation we just replace y with f(x) (meaning the output of the function f for input x):

    f(x) = 5*x + 3.

In five hours (x = 5), Nicole would make:

    y = 5*5 + 3 = 25 + 3 = $28.
