Answer:
see the procedure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]10.11(st)+170[/tex]
This is a linear equation in slope intercept form
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
where
The slope m is equal to
[tex]m=10.11\ \frac{\$}{ft^2}[/tex]
The slope represent the cost of the laminate flooring per square foot
The y-intercept is equal to
[tex]b=\$170[/tex]
The y-intercept represent the labor fee
The term (st) represent the area of the room (s and t are the dimensions of the rectangular kitchen)
The cost of the laminate flooring for the entire room is 10.11(st)
