A bicyde rental company charges a $20 fee plus $5.50 per hour to rent a bicycle. Another bicycle rental
company charges a $15 fee plus $6.50 per hour to rent a bicycle. Write an equation to determine for what
number of hours is the cost for the rental the same.

Company 2 would be cheaper

Step-by-step explanation:

Company 1                                       Company 2

20+5.5h                                          15+6.5h

20+5.5                                           15+6.5

25.5                                               21.6

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
