It costs $13 to rent a canoe and $5.50 to use the canoe for an hour. You have $29.50. Write an equation that represents the number $h$ of hours you can rent the canoe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base number is 13 dollars since you must pay it before adding hourly expenses.

Every hour, you have to pay 5.50.

So, the total cost would equal:

29.50 - (13 + 5.5h) < 29.50

Think: you have 29.50. you must pay 13 dollars before using it. it costs 5.50 for each hour. your money must be less than your total.

Hope this helped :)

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
