Answer:
y = 0.36x + 4200.00
15100.00 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the yearly cost for driving x miles is given by y dollars then the two ordered pairs to find the linear relation between x and y are (10000,7800) and (20000,11400).
So, the equation will be

⇒ y = 0.36x + 4200.00 ........... (1) (Answer)
Now, for y = $9636.00, from equation (1),
9636 = 0.36x + 4200
⇒ 0.36x = 5436
⇒ x = 15100.00 miles. (Answer)
