A. The variables in the problem include the miles traveled, the cost to rent the car and the cost per mile traveled in the car.
b. The rate of change in the problem is the amount of payment that is expected per mile traveled.
c.The y-intercept is the total cost of the miles traveled without including the deposit.
d. A straight-line function will work for this problem, where y = mx + c.
m = $0.15, c = $25 and x = total miles traveled.
e. y = ($0.15)(1200) + $25
= $180 + $25
= $205
It is the root because it starts thre
