check the picture below.
namely, which of those intervals has the steepest slope, recall slope = average rate of change.
now, from the picture, notice, those two there are the steepest, the other three are leaning too much to the "ground".
so, from those two, which is the steepest anyway? let's check their slope.
Answer:
the charge is $5 dollars per mile
Step-by-step explanation:
He truck is rented at $40 per day plus they charge per mile of use the truck travel 15 miles in one day and the total charge was 115
LEt x be the charge in dollars per hour
Initial charge is 40 and 15 miles travelled in one day
total charge = 15x + 40
Given : total charge is 115
So the equation becomes
Now we solve for x
Subtract 40 from both sides
Divide both sides by 15
x= 5
so , the charge is $5 dollars per mile
