A plumber charges of fee of $75 to make a house call. He also charges $50 per hour for labor. 1. Write an equation that represents the plumber's charges. Let x represent the number of hours for labor an dy the total cost.
2. Use equations from part one to predict the cost of hiring the plumber for a 5-hour long repair.

For part 1- y=50x+75 For part 2- y=325

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost is increasing 50 for every hour

there is a flat rate of 75 to answer a house call

y=50x+75

y=50(5)+75

y=250+75

y=325

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571

step-by-step explanation:

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
