Answer:

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

d \to miles

C \to cost

So:

(d_1,C_1) = (500,420) --- May

(d_2,C_2) = (620,444) --- June

Required

Express as a function

Start by calculating the slope (m)

m = \frac{\triangle C}{\triangle d}

m = \frac{444-420}{620-500}

m = \frac{24}{120}

Simplify

m = \frac{1}{5}

The equation is:

C(d) = m(d - d_1) +C_1

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}(d - 500) +420

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d - 100 +420

Take LCM

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320
