When to Use Slope Intercept
• Equations should be put into slope intercept form
anytime there is a flat fee (one time fee) and
charge per unit (item, hour, miles…etc)
– Example: Works at a car repair shop. There is a $25
garage fee and charge of $30 per hour. Write an
equation that represent the cost of having your car
repaired for any number of hours not including any
parts necessary for repair.
y = 30x + 25
