Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the equation you are given is called "point-slope" form. The "slope" in this case is the per-hour fee. The point is (9 h, $195). Point-slope form generally looks like this:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
Here, you have m=15, (h, k) = (9, 195), so the equation looks like ...
y -195 = 15(x -9)
__
The "one-time fee" is the cost when hours are zero.
y -195 = 15(0 -9)
y = 195 -9(15) = 60 . . . . add 195 to both sides, and evaluate
The one-time fee is $60.
