    Use slope intercept form to write the equation y=mx+b m (slope of the line) will be the hourly fee, and b (y-intercept) will be the one-time transportation fee.

    y=30x+20

    to find the cost of renting a canoe for 6 hours, plug 6 into the equation replacing x

    y = (30*6) + 20

    y=180+20=$200

    Sorry, I can't graph the line, but I would number the x-axis of the coordinate plane (graph) by 1s or 2s (for the hours), and the y-axis by 20s (for the cost)
