Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent the total cost, y, of leasing a car for x months. months costs
1 $1,859
3 $2,577
8 $4,372
12 $5,808

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

Months (x)     Costs  (y)

      1               $1,859

      3              $2,577

      8              $4,372

     12              $5,808

The slope intercept form is:

Here,

m = slope

b = intercept.

Compute the value of m and b as follows:

The equation in slope-intercept form to represent the total cost, y, of leasing a car for x months is:

they would have to work 32 hours.
