Question

The cost of renting a car for a day is $0.70 per mile plus a $20 flat fee

Answer 1

Answer:

a) y = .70x + 20

-To find this, use the rate as x since it will change based on the number of miles. Since 20 is a flat fee, it can be added at the end as a constant.

b) This graph forms a straight line.

-This is because the answer in a is a linear equation.

c) The slope is .70 and the y-intercept is 20.

-For this one, the y-intercept is always the constant at the end of the equation and the slope is the coefficient of x.
