Chapter R.4, Problem 61E

Determine whether the following algebraic equationcan be written as a linear function. 2x+3y=7

An outpatient operating room charges each patient a fixed amount per surgery plus an amount per minute for use. One patient was charged 250 for a 30-minute surgery and another patient was charged 450 for a 90-minute surgery. Determine the linear function that would be used to compute the charges. Use the function to determine the charge when a patient has a 45-minute surgery.
