Netflix is now charging a one-time membership fee to its customers, in addition to the monthly rate of $9.99. After the second month, the total cost of having a Netflix membership is $55.97. What is the slope and y intercept in this situation if you modeled it with 'y' as the total cost and 'x' as the number of months using Netflix?
slope = $9.99 per month
y intercept = $35.99

The country of Taxmania has an unusual way to charge sales tax. It's always the same dollar amount, no matter how much you spend. As a tourist there, I bought some scarves. I purchased two for myself at a total cost of $49.50 (including the tax). Because I loved the scarves so much, I bought three more for my friends. The total cost of the three scarves was $71.50 (including the tax). How much does each scarf cost? How much is the tax? How can you write this as a linear equation, using y for total cost and x for the number of scarves?
the tax is $5.50
the price per scarf is $22
and the equation for the total cost of any number of scarves is y = 22x+5.5

Ayda doesn't remember how much she was charged for the initiation fee at her gym. Luckily, she finds old bills. After the 4th month at the gym, she had spent a total of $311 at this gym. After the 9th month, she had spent a total of $551. Find the monthly rate and then find the initiation fee. Then, write an equation that represents the total cost of a gym membership of any number of months.
monthly rate = $48
initation fee = $119
y = 119 + 48x
