Given:

Fixed charges = $40

Variable charges = $1.70 for each mile.

To find:

The equation that represents the total cost y for x miles towed.

Find the y-intercept and interpret  its meaning in the context of the situation. ​

Solution:

Let y be the total cost for x miles.

Fixed charges = $40

Variable charges for 1 mile = $1.70

Variable charges for x mile = $1.70x

Now,

Total changes = Fixed charges + Variable changes

y=40+1.70x

Therefore, the required equation is y=40+1.70x.

Putting x=0 in the above equation, we get

y=40+1.70(0)

y=40+0

y=40

Therefore, the y-intercept is 40. It means the charges to hook a car is $40 if it is towed 0 miles.
