Answer

$ y = 35x +65 $ The graph of this equation is attached below. This equation is found by using the two values given which are the 65 dollar repair fee and the 35 dollar per hour charge. These values include both the slope and y-intercept, with 35 being the slope and 65 being the y-intercept. Using the formula for slope-intercept, $ y = mx + b $, we can simply plug in these figures to get the equation of the line which comes to be $ y= 35x + 65 $. This is done by using the Y= command on a calculator, entering the equation into the Y1 field, and then hitting the GRAPH button.
