    y = $122 + $49.99 (x - 1)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's use the general equation y=c+d (x-1), where c represents the initial charge and x represents the specific hour: {1, 2, 3}.

    Then:

    First hour: $122 = c + d (1 - 1) = c

    If c = $122, then:

    Second hour: $171.99 = $122 + d (2 - 1), or $49.99 + d (1), so that d = $49.99.

    Third hour: $221.98 = $122 + $49.99 (3 - 1), or

    $99.98 = $99.98

    Thus, the governing equation becomes

    y = $122 + $49.99 (x - 1)
