A computer technician charges a flat base fee plus an hourly rate for all repairs. Last year, she used the formula y = 18 x + 22 to determine the cost in dollars, y, of a repair that required x hours of work. If she doubles her base fee this year, what equation should she use to determine the new cost of an x-hour repair? y = 18 x + 44
y = 36 x + 22
y = 36 x + 44
2 y = 18 x + 22

answer: it's a

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
