Question

part 1 of 4
(a) write a linear function to model the cost for parking ( p(t) ) for ( t ) hours.
( p(t) = mt + b )
the charge for parking consists of a flat fee of $2.00 so the consta... is 2.00.
the rate of increase, $1.60/hr, is the slope ( m ) is 1.60.

part: 1 / 4
part 2 of 4
thus, the linear function is ( p(t) = square ) for ( t > 0 ).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify slope and intercept

Slope $m=1.60$, intercept $b=2.00$

Step2: Substitute into linear form

Substitute $m$ and $b$ into $P(t)=mt+b$

Answer:

$P(t)=1.60t+2.00$ for $t>0$
