What is a graph? The representation of a relation on a quadrangular coordinate plane is called a graph. A relation is any curve graphed on a rectangular coordinate plane and represents a set of ordered pairs. A graph is a configuration amounting to a set of objects in which some objects are somehow‘ related. ’ For this quiz, you will be shown algebraic equations, and it is up to you to determine the answer. Good luck.

My plumber uses a cost equation where C = ax + b, where a is the rate he charges me per hour, and b is the call out fee.He charges me $290 for 6 hours of work, then the next week he returns to do 8 hours of work for $370.If I want him to return to replace a few tap washers - for one hour - how much will he charge?
Correct Answer $90
Explanation this looks like a simequation, or cost equation question and would work that way, but twopoints works better.
(6, 290) and (8, 370) gives you the equation for the line ... y=50+40x
then, you can just substitute x = 1 (1 hour) into the equation and you have the answer.
