Question

A rental company charges a flat fee of $25 and an additional $0.40 per mile to rent a car. Has to be a linear equation.

Answer 1

To make this a linear equation, you would do this:

It starts off already of you spent $25, even with 0 miles, so the y-intercept would be 25.

The slope would be .40x, while x = additional miles.

In the slope intercept form, it would be y = .40x + 25
