Answer: a) y=0.50x+15
b) The graph of this equation form on a coordinate plane is a line.
c) Slope =0.50 and y-intercept = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of miles driven by car
Given: The cost of renting a car for a day is $0.50 per mile plus a $15 flat fee.
a) Total cost = 0.50x+15
If y =total cost of renting the car, then y=0.50x+15 (i)
b) Above equation is similar to y= mx+c (ii) [m = slope , xc=y-intercept] which a linear equation .
So the graph of this equation form on a coordinate plane is a line.
c) Comparing (i) and (ii)
m=0.50 , c=15
Slope =0.50 and y-intercept = 15
