Mr. Plato takes 10 minutes to mark each student's assessment. He also needs 30 minutes to prepare himself before marking (to set up, grab snacks, put on calming music...)
How long will it take him to mark 100 assessments? Have your answer in Hours and Minutes.
17 hours, 10 minutes.
y = 10x + 30
y = 10(100) + 30
y = 1000 + 30
y = 1030
1030 / 60 = 17 r10
What is the linear equation (Ex. y = 2x -1) of the line with the following coordinates: (-1,-1) (1,-11). (You may need to graph the points to see it)
y = -5x - 6.

Jim Jon Jameson needs his car fixed. The mechanics charge $180 flat fee for every car they fix, plus an extra $65 per hour that they need to work on it.
If J. J. J. only has $765 he can spend on repairs, how long can he afford hire the mechanics for?
9 hours.
y = 65x + 180
(765) = 65x + 180
585 = 65x
x = 9
