Find some graphing paper and graph away..
i.e. Sub in x = 0 and find what y = ?
y = 1/2(0) + 3
y = 3
So we know the coordinate (0,3)
When x = 4 , y = ?
y = 1/2(4) + 3
y = 4/2 + 3
y = 2 + 3
y = 5
So we know another coordinate (4, 5)
When x = -4, y = ?
y = 1/2(-4) + 3
y = -4/2 + 3
y = -2 + 3
y = 1
So we know another coordinate (-4, 1)
Putting it all together, the coordinates: (-4, 1) , (0, 3) and (4, 5) should be plenty sufficient to graph and then draw a line of best fit connecting them.
Using a linear function, we have that:
a) The fixed cost is of $10.
b) The equation is: C = 10 + 12d.
c) The cost of an 18 km trip is $226.
d) The distance traveled is of 20 km.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For this problem, the slope is of m = 12. When d = 5, C(d) = 70, hence we find the fixed cost as follows:
C(d) = 12d + b
70 = 60 + b
b = 10.
Hence the equation is:
C(d) = 12d + 10.
For a trip of 18 km, d = 18, hence the cost is:
C(12) = 12 x 18 + 10 = $226.
When the cost is of $250, the distance is found as follows:
250 = 12d + 10
12d = 240
d = 240/12
d = 20 km.

Two equations could be y=2x and y=4x-2
You need to divide 9 to both sides in order for y to come alone. So then you would have to divide 27 by 9 and y = 3. Hope this helps!
