Answer:

a) y=8x+12

b) $52

Step-by-step explanation:

for a)

the linear cost of this equation is 8, since is asks this amount per hour. The constant is 12, a one time fee. to form the equation, you would use the formula y=mx+b, and substituted in with the given, you get y=8x+12.

for b)

in b, it asks for the cost of renting the boat when x=5, renting the boat for 5 hours. all you have to do is plug in 5 in place of the x in the equation:

y=8x+12

y=8(5)+12

y=40+12

y=52
